Looks very good.  Next time try not to edit the pictures and then we can give you accurate feedback on the colors.  Great job though!

Beat me to it, I couldn't find a pic of a Mossy in desert camo colors.

FTJR, I noticed on the first Mossie you included a 23 Sqn crest, is that still on the second one?  Just that the RAF were prevented from carrying anyform of squadron identification other than their squadron codes.

kev14, good point I was just playing with the pic following the thread about covering up the warts. The "unedited" pic is below

Kev367th, first nice job on your mossies, I had to look through an RAF site to find the mossie squadrons, THEN I had to look through their histories to find who was in the MED, that took a long time. Then another site to find out aircraft codes. A fairly labourious process.

Rep.. I actually moved it to the door. I didn't know about the restriction. I'll remove if from the submitted version, Thanks for the tip.

Thanks.
I knew a few squadrons were in the med, but all the pics I found showed them in green/grey camo.

I got as far as this


Dam shame we can't change the spinner color.

Kinda hard finding ones that aren't just standard colors.
