Post by: learstang on December 03, 2017, 06:48:35 PM I don't have any photographs, but I'm always sceptical about yellow surrounds on the red stars. Even though you see this quite a bit in profiles, I don't think the Soviets used yellow much during most of the GPW because it was the Axis identification colour, and using it would be an invitation to have a friendly fire incident.

Alex says that none photo is available of both. Ten years ago, someone wrote that a photo of 8 do exist in an archive but it wasn't possible to reproduce it. It's better to have not confidence in these profiles. Regards Massimo Title: Re: P-40 decal sheet.
