Re: Spitfire Roundel on Wing Panel

Mike - Martin. It looks to me like a Type "C" (the thin white ring is visible) converted to the later Type "D", the white increased as you say. The large red centre is typical for "D" but here it's still the Dull Red rather than Bright; the "D" ratio is 1:2:3 ie. red 1 third total diameter, white 2 thirds. On the Type "C" the Red is 2-fifths of the Blue (AP.2656A).
The yuccy "green" could be FAA Dark Slate Grey (?).
