If on the VIII - Incorrect alt range, correct shape, weapons.
If on the IX - Incorrect shape, correct alt rang (ish), weapons.

A test on the VIII "Spirit of Kent" - Waiting on skin viewer to finish stripes.

I'd go with the VIII. At the point the VIII's were in that paint they were being used for ground attack post D-Day. Most if not all had lost their pointed wings. The retractable tail wheel and the pointed tail swing it for me as well.

I'm more of the mind to gear a plane toward performance rather than armament, but that's just me. I could be the minority.

Aside from that, Guppy has some valid points.

Hit a slight snag -

Can't find ANY of the actual pics of it from last time I did it.

Had pics of -
Pre invasion stripe.
Post invasion stripe.
Showing outlined sqn codes.
Showing standard wing tips.

Panic over, found some -

Changes:
Codes underneath fuselage invasion stripes.
Shrunk the pennant under the canopy.
Moved "Spirit of Kent" higher.
Added 'O' to rudder.
Added serial number under horiz stabs
Wing stubs white (finally found one Krusty)

As said will add upper fuse DDay stripes once skinveiwer is updated.
Just need a general yea, nay, or changes, as I will include this thread in the info.txt file.

On the VIII makes the most sense, and I think they are a very good sub, since externally they are the same.

Me likey that one
