It does rather doesn't it. Actually it started out as a check on how the blue spinner looked in black and white - pretty much an identical shade to the red in the roundel. I used the brighter shade of roundel blue, figuring that you would use that as a squadron marking rather than the dull blue. As you can see, it looks the same as the dull roundel red in a b&w photo, which I think has led to the myth that the spinner and fuel tank fronts were red. I went for the blue to match the only colour photo I found, along with a profile in "the Typhoon and Tempest Story".
Better shut up now before someone has a go at us rivet counters - 183 at the last count.
Enjoy,
Roger (rivet counter and proud of it)
