Miracle Paint Masks Posted July 19, 2020 Share Posted July 19, 2020 Cool, check your centre red disc, it loks a bit big. I compared it to you A-type which is correct? 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas Lund Posted July 19, 2020 Author Share Posted July 19, 2020 I used this as a reference... it IS wiki so if it's not correct then please say so.. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Royal_Air_Force_roundels I will check up on it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miracle Paint Masks Posted July 19, 2020 Share Posted July 19, 2020 The Wiki reference is for a D-Type, used from 1946. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas Lund Posted July 19, 2020 Author Share Posted July 19, 2020 In both the references I found, the A type had the dimensions 1:3:5 The A1 and A2 added the yellow ring to 1:3:5:7 or 1:3:5:6 respectively The files reflect that... This is the A1 Is that wrong ? The D type (47 onwards) is 1:2:3 giving much bigger red dots relatively Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas Lund Posted July 19, 2020 Author Share Posted July 19, 2020 (edited) You are not talking about the 'A1 var' ??? That is a variation I found here http://woodair.net/Aviation/roundels/RAF_Roundels.htm That has the dimensions 3:6:10:14 giving that if scaled to the outline diameter of 70 as above gives 7.5:15:25:35 e.g. a much bigger red centre Edited July 19, 2020 by Thomas Lund Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miracle Paint Masks Posted July 20, 2020 Share Posted July 20, 2020 Yes, your A-typs file shows those dimensions but the the A1 that I uploaded has the D-type centre spot dimension? Just the centre spot the rest is fine. As it is 100mm? I resized it to the 1/32 scale size and something looked wrong, I was just saying. I may be wrong I just did a quick check to see if I could download files from here? I could be totally wrong as I did this yesterday and my head isn't in a good place at the moment. But I was confused as to why the file was at 100mm and not a scale size? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miracle Paint Masks Posted July 20, 2020 Share Posted July 20, 2020 I've just checked again and evrything seems fine! But it wasn't yesterday? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas Lund Posted July 20, 2020 Author Share Posted July 20, 2020 Can't tell you why mate... sure you didn't get the 'A1 variant' which was different on the centre dot... I did it at as a generalized size so it could be scaled to any size/scale you like... that's the way I like it 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
