Safir "341" as seen at Newark has the correct paint scheme as used during the later years in RNoAF service. The large aircraft codes were used early on and on most Safir's (as on 341) the codes were removed and a smaller roundel was used.AlexP wrote:That really does look very good indeed. I may well get it and try my hand at a repaint (or to put it more accurately, an identity change) as I’ve set my self the challenge of trying to fill my virtual hanger with the aircraft found at my local air museum - Newark Air Museum. :madhead: :roll:
The only slight technical hitch is that Newark’s example ( http://www.airliners.net/open.file/0717493/L/ ) differs somewhat from the freeware scheme available at the Sib Wings site ( http://www.sibwings.com/freeware/repaint/ln.sao.jpg ). In particular the roundels and fuselage lettering. I’m wondering whether NAM have restored theirs and perhaps repainted inaccurately or whether this is the actual scheme it wore whilst in service. Is anyone able to shed any light on this?

I have done a repaint of 341 in this scheme.
I'm also working on another rnoaf repaint, this time in the all yellow scheme with large aircraft codes.
