I wouldn't mind doing it =) If u think im good nuff ill  take my time!

I think it might take a while, because people have to start totally from scratch with the new skins. There will be a lag (in my estimation), then as people get over the first skin, they use their existing files as templates for new skins and the process speeds up.

That skin does look nice. Do you know of any 16s that had US markings?

Some VIIIs did, but I think we'd phased out of Spitfires by the time of the LF.Mk IXe and LF.Mk XVIe.

American's flew VIII's and some IXs as well as Vs.

Best bet is the MTO American Spit VIIIs.   Very good looking camo and markings on those.

Is that the same as the SpitV with stars and bars? Tan/brown camo on the upper surfaces?

Similar to this.  This one's a Spit IX, but you get the idea

And here is yet another one... A Greek  Spit XVI which would add some nice diversity to the AFs in the game...

Dan - your request is my command, you've helped out so much in the past, how could I say no.

Is that Raymond Baxter from "Tomorrows World" fame?

Yep, that's him   Flew on those low level raids in Holland in that bird.

Thanks for taking that one on Kev.  You have lots on your plate no doubt

Greeks weren't flying them during the war like that however.  You'll find lots of photos of poswar Spit LFIX/XVI with different markings.  Problem is during the war they were flying under RAF  control so basic RAF markings with small reference to their own countries.

Dan -
You sure thats the correct color for the rear band and squadron codes.
Looks very much like RAF Sky Blue as opposed to RAF Sky.
