WWII FAA Roundel question

Post by Blueskippy »

Hi all,
I have a question concerning a project I am working on.
I plan to build the Tamiya 1/32 F4U-1A Corsair as a Royal Navy craft, and have been collecting items for a while. I have decided to paint as many markings as possible and to this end have purchased the "MonteX" super mask set # K32333. the masks and paint guide show standard (I believe) far east markings of a blue and white tail flash, and blue and white roundels on the fuselage. But the wing roundels are as follows:
Outer ring of Blue then a red ring, and finally an inner spot of white. Is this correct? as I dont think I have ever noticed this arrangement before.
Any help would gratefully received.

Ian

I am no expert, far from it, but I've never seen anything like that.

Does it look like any of these?

Or them
