S.E.5a D6877 Lt. McCall

[Syde_Burns]

I'm currently building an old Revell 1/72 scale S.E.5a. Markings for D6877 flown by Lt. McCall in 1918 is included in the kit. And i'm havings some questions about D6877:
Were the wheel discs PC.10, linen or in flight color (red?)?
And were the propeller blades painted grey?

Regards

Hello Anton:
no.41 Squadron, S.E.5 had discontinued the use of flight colors on the wheel covers. A few aircraft continued to use Fight colors on the wheel covers. A Flt. A,Red, B Flt. Blue and C Flt. White. Flight used A,B,C,D,E, and F. Bflight used numbers 1 through 6. C Flight used U,V,W,X,Y and Z. The C.O. used M. The Squadron marking was two vertical bars aft of the fuselage roundel. The Flight marking was painted just forward of the fin and aft of the Squadron marking bars. From studying the photos of No.41Squadron, the wheel covers on the S.E.5a machines appear to be P.C.10.
Merry Christmas Anton,
Dan-San
