: Hi,
:
: I amw riting to you from the other side of
: the globe, however an enthusiastic fan of
: "Aussie"-aircraft of 2md WW.
:
: Currently I am trying to make a decent model
: out of the good olf Airfix-Boomerang which
: should be A46-228 (BF°R) from 5. Squadron
: at Bougainville in 1945.
: To this I have got two questions as my
: source differ alot concerning these:
: 1. The registration A46-228 should be either
: grey or black according to the sources used?
: Has anyone an idea which colour is the right
: one?
:
: 2. The white leading edge on the wings could
: be either for the elngth of the whole wing
: or A46-222 "Glamour Girl" starting
: at the parellel line at the wings and ending
: at the at the end of the wing before the
: curved section begins. Is there any picture
: available showing this aircraft or has
: anyone a solution??
:
: Finally, I am not sure about the internal
: colour of the Boomerangs. Some of my sources
: state that this should be silver, the other
: ones state it as "British Interior
: Green". Which one is correct??
:
: I would be very happy if anyone were able to
: assit and help me finishing the feature.
:
: I would be willing to help with info on
: late-war German aircraft, particularly Bf
: 109 / FW 190 etc. - if required
:
: Sincerely yours

: Michael - I'm pretty positive that the serial would have been in grey and my understanding is that the interior would be in interior green, probably scraped back to bare 'silver' in all places where wear would have occurred. The only preserved one I have studied had the wheel well interiors silver, however this may not be how they were in combat areas.
