MartinN Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 I want to mark my vehicle up as an RAF vehicle. Does anyone know where I can get the RAF roundel transfers from. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cornishbloke Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 Try C&S Tat on the EMLRA site Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 (edited) I just ordered stencils to mark one of my bikes from Axholme signs. Of coarse you have to spray/brush paint them yourself. This is the proof they sent me. Ron Edited March 18, 2014 by Ron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MartinN Posted March 18, 2014 Author Share Posted March 18, 2014 Next question what size are the rounders and where do they go. The vehicle is a Bedford MW which I have decided to do up as a ATAF vehicle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
No Signals Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 The roundal should be 9 inch outer diameter blue, then white ( 5.4 inch dia), then red (1.8 inch dia) Off side wing. Do a search on this site as there are some very good threads on RAF markings and correct colour schemes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Pearson Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 Hi we can make stickers as well as stencils if needed and in any size drop us an email Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony B Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 It is the easy answer, let the other Tony work his magic. Good job fair prices. :-D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MartinN Posted March 22, 2014 Author Share Posted March 22, 2014 Ordered the transfers. Any ideas re the other markings on the vehicle ie numbers sizes and where. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 (edited) This is my effort so far. I'm just waiting for a couple more stencils for the unit marking. I've used Axholme stencils numerous times with good results. I'm often hampered by having to apply census numbers to the double curvature of motorcycle petrol tanks, but I have my way of getting round it. I have to say though, that the RAF roundel is an awkward one and I cocked up the little one on the tank, again not helped by the curves. But Tony had sent me a spare one, so I was able to proceed with a bit more care. But I don't think I would want to use stickers on this period of vehicle.........Don't the MODS use them? Ron PS I used PLASTICOTE enamel small rattle cans off ebay Night Blue/White/Red, gloss (although it's not too glossy) and Matt White on the numbers.

MartinN Posted March 23, 2014 Author Share Posted March 23, 2014 Sorry to be a nuisance but can anyone give me details of what lettering sizes and location of them. For my mw as a 2ATAF vehicle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 Sorry to be a nuisance but can anyone give me details of what lettering sizes and location of them. For my mw as a 2ATAF vehicle. Hi I got your PM. But in all honesty I don't know the sizes or if there was a directive from the Air Ministry on a standard format? The few motorcycle pictures I have studied and the two original RAF Norton Big 4 pictures that I have, indicate to me that each base just put the numbers on as they saw fit. My advice would be to copy an original picture as close as you can. Maybe the RAF buffs know better? Ron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
