For the D-Day commemorations in Belgium Mk XVI Spitfire SL721 was temporarily wrapped in the personal markings of Joseph “Jef” Moureau (98 years) from 349 (Belgian) Squadron. He shot down a Junkers Ju.88 during D-Day.

Even before that, I had an external ejector seat decal from a JP stuck to my toilet cistern back in the 70’s
it was replace later with a Danger hot exhaust gases one…… :rolleyes:

Once we went grey, all the Jag Sqn logos were vinyl – if you recall for the 25th sets were made up of the ex user Sqns too

My main concern with the manufacturer’s video clip is that by the end of it Spitfire LFXVIe SL721 has been converted into a PRXIX PM631… then converts itself back again in flight!!! Amazing
Bit obvious with that five blade prop :rolleyes:

Yep the USAF trailed complete camo wraps on the F16 if I remember correctly.

The new films hold up well. I did it on Fougas in 2004-2007. First BAF F-16 tail was wrapped around 2006 I believe.

Is there any worry that they could become “unwrapped” whilst airbourne with all the potentially lethal problems that could cause?

Less expensive than paint, but also environmentally better…In short perfect for a short-term scheme.
Used quite a bit on race cars, so they’ll stand up to warbird speeds.
Don’t know about faster jets.

Rather cool!

Hi All,
Good idea that but is it cheaper than a paint scheme if you want to change every now and then ? I wonder how much it would cost to wrap NX611 ? You could do a vectored torn paper art scheme that features all her colour schemes from primer up until the scheme she wears today, ( well at least until she makes that leap in the air) in a similar form to the scheme below with a little imagination….:p
You get the idea ? Maybe even take part of the wrap off bit by bit as she nears her final scheme ? Whether or not it’s to anybody’s liking is another question altogether.
