Historical Information

Royal Malaysian Air Force markings use a yellow multipointed star with blue surrounds. The national design has appeared in both square and circular forms, and both are illustrated for this sheet.

The square form is associated with the 1963-1982 period. It belongs to the earlier development of the Malaysian air arm and should be selected for a model only when that form is documented on the subject aircraft.

The circular form followed in 1982, retaining the star while changing the shape of the surrounding field. This transition means that aircraft of the same general type can have different national markings in photographs taken at different dates.

Match the square or circular insignia to the aircraft and period being modeled. Its size and position should also be checked, particularly when reproducing a scheme that dates from near the changeover.
