Model Board Symbology Questions

[NW Mailing List]

Hi Jim from Soggy and cold NW Ohio...still would rather be in Northern VA but I digress...

Yes, there are standardized symbols and as soon as I get back to my computer I’ll post them up to the group. A lot of this nomenclature was standardized by the AAR over the years.
