Attached is a link to a vehicle, probably of the same company but different platoon, which shows the opposite side markings.
Unfortunately I can't post the image full size.

Actually, I think your tank may be the tank at the rear left of the image!
Note: If you open the image in the link in a new tab then double-click it it expands to full-screen.
Thanks for the link to the image. I saved it and zoomed in and you are correct, the Delta is first then the D/2. Unfortunately, the dry transfers for the left side is crackled so I have to order another set. I should have them by next week.

Up (^) is 1st PLT, Right (>) is 2nd PLT, Down (v) is 3rd PLT, Left (<) is 4th PLT.

« Last post by raafif on Yesterday at 07:27:31 AM »During the interwar period, the German flag carrier Deutsche Luft Hansa had built up a lucrative network of long range airmail routes, the longest of which included transatlantic ones. During the mid 1930s, the airline continued to hold a strong interest in the further development of its long distance routes; accordingly, Luft Hansa formulated a requirement for a new large flying boat to serve on its transatlantic routes.[2] Specifics of this requirement included sufficient space to accommodate a minimum of 24 passengers. In response, the German aircraft manufacturer Hamburger Flugzeugbau decided to design a new larger flying boat, which was initially designated the Ha 222; the company's design team was headed by Dr. Richard Vogt.

I got the wheels painted but not the rubber and the tracks aren’t painted yet. The M240 is not attached yet and the .50cal still needs painting. I used Tamiya NATO black, brown and green for the camo. I dropped the kit on the floor but luckily it was carpeted but still some paint chipped off and the rear hull separated and the putty fell out. I will glue the rear hull back together but not worrying about the putty so there will be a gap back there. I don’t do contests anyway. I need to do the touchups as you can see but I also noticed I forgot the NATO brown on the barrel. All the stowage will be added last.
I am doing mine with the mine plough but it isn’t finished yet. I want to do mine somewhat similar to the one in the image below. I don’t have the fuel bladder though so mine will be after they ditched the fuel bladders. Does anyone know how the markings are on the left side? Is the inverted V at the front of the side skirt like this, ^ D/2 or is the D/2 at the front like this D/2 ^?
