    Good evening Everyone,

    I am in the process of building the Monogram 1/48 Hawker Typhoon Mk. IB, the one with the bubble canopy and 4 bladed prop. I am painting it in the late war period scheme, roughly Jan-Feb, 1945 (I finally found the correct upper wing roundels decals, which changed in January 1945 to red, white, blue and a yellow ring). The only thing I am not sure about is the color of the underwing rockets. I have seen green warheads, with natural metal bodies, to od green bodies and black warheads.
    Does anyone know what the colors should be for this time period?

    Thanks!

    They should be RAF Dark Green overall, according to a color photo I recently saw. That's what I will be doing with my Eduard release when I get around to it.
