Hate to be the critic, since I'm no good at doing these, but the camoflage for that Spit is all wrong for a D-Day bird. You'd have the Ocean Gray/Dark Green upper camo not the dark green/brown camo that you have. That was gone in August 42.
You also have the early war roundels on that bird.
And of course the 71st Eagle Squadron, were long gone by D-Day having become the 334th FS of the 4tH FG USAAF.
And from what I can tell, the PP squadron codes were only used in 1939 for 203 Squadron.
And others have pointed out the problems with the invasion stripes. Not that many Spit V Squadrons with them to begin with.
Needless to say, this isn't a historical skin

i didnt research it too well, thats for sure, but it looks good becuase because i obviously took no longer than 30 mins to make it. just wanted a spitV with invasion stripes. however unlikely
im not sure but my second project i spent alot more time reshearching a perfectly acurate model of........
Flight Leader Batfink's Stunt modified, special Ops skin, circa 1942.
Seen here as flown with the earlier definitions around the left, and right sides of the engine cowl.
Flt ldr Batfink flew many a mission into enemy territory, alone, amoungst flack, AAA and everyother nasty machine of war against him. He devised a method to dazzle the enemy into a heavy hynosis performing stunts in his jazzy spitV. With this awesome power he could down any plane with 1 mile just from them seeing it in a slow half loop. this model is showing the insignia 'Bollox to you' , as a powerfull message to any high alt plane to see.
Of course he wasnt logged as a pilot and therefore his official score of 2,342 kills was never given full credit through out the rest of the war.
I hope HTC will approve this, as it is a geniuine skin. i discovered some old documents and the rest is history.....
...but alas, all the documents were destroyed and the only remaining article is this collage of photos.
