    Boston Douglas Mk. III - text on red rectangle

    Hi guys. I'm working on French FAFL Boston Havoc Mk.III and there is a little red rectangle on the side with US text. Is anybody know what it's write on it ?
    Thanks

    Have you got a real one in your back yard? And a full size 3D scanning rig? Trust me the warping in any photo is unbeliviable. You got original factory plans? Have you got the time or money to redraw this airframe from original factory blueprints? Man if it looks right, drw it dude....looks right to me...

    Yeah...It might come in handy one of these days.

    The image could be clearer, but I am fortunate to have pretty ready access to the RAAFMuseum if I need a better one.

    I've spent much time admiring this airframe, its a thing of purposeful beauty.

    Re: Boston Douglas Mk. III - text on red rectangle

    THANK YOU all for your help ! Now it's clear for me, even if this text will be very small on the profile. Here is the blueprint I've made two days ago and the very first steps of my color profile (Boston Mk.III)
    All the best !
