Wrench Posted November 22, 2011 Posted November 22, 2011 trying to wrap my head around HOW the number work on AMI aircraft. Using the 6 & 7 stromo 104 skins as a base, can one assume that the first number (or numbers deisgnate eithr the stromo or gruppo?) and the 2nd set of digits the actual aircraft number. as seen below, a 46ABG, with individual number of 01. I ask because some of the references I looked up mention the main wing/stromo as first 2 (if 2 digit), gruppo/squadron as 3rd and individual aircraft as 4th. Which seems odd, as that only give you 10 aircraft. or is how I've shown below more likely? Quote
+Dels Posted November 22, 2011 Posted November 22, 2011 Kevin, You might have seen this, but check the "Marking" section about a third of the way down: Italian Air Force Seems to be XX-YY (where XX is Wing and YY is aircraft number) Dels Quote
+ErikGen Posted November 23, 2011 Posted November 23, 2011 Kevin, the code is Stormo number + individual number; probably Gruppo and Squadriglia can be identified only knowing how how the available 99 digits have been divided in the Stormo structure. In theory (having enough aircrafts) a Stormo is composed by 2 -3 Gruppi and a Gruppo has an organic of 20 aircraft (at the max). In the past the individual number was from last 2-3 digits of the serial (matricola militare) but today it seems to be an imposed progressive number. Quote
Wrench Posted November 23, 2011 Author Posted November 23, 2011 I see! Thank you gents! Makes like a bit eaiser knowing I only have to make 20 decals!! Quote
+Soulfreak Posted November 23, 2011 Posted November 23, 2011 I see! Thank you gents! Makes like a bit eaiser knowing I only have to make 20 decals!! 20??? That´s a fast job! I did all Gina numbers for the GAF, over 400.... Still working on GAF Starfighter Decals, which are even much more..... Quote
+ErikGen Posted November 23, 2011 Posted November 23, 2011 Carlo, Italian G91s they used old numbering system ( Stormo number + last two digits of serial) ... i also have to paint every single combination. Kevin, not being lazy ... a Stormo is composed of 2 Gruppi at least and this means 40 individual numbers. Quote
