NOTES FOR MODELLERS

(1.) Emblems and mascots appeared on the port side of the aircraft only unless

otherwise stated or illustrated.

(2.) Underwing serials always faced forwards on the starboard side, aft on the

port side.

(3.) As specific aircraft are illustrated, it does not follow that camouflage patterns

were necessarily identical for all aircraft of that type. Even so-called standard

patterns sometimes showed great variation.

(4.) Squadron and individual codes were shown in the reverse order on the

opposite side of the fuselage unless otherwise stated or illustrated. e.g. AB--c

would be normally shown as C-AB on the opposite side. This applies to all

illustrations in the book.
