Any chance of getting someone to do a SpitV in 4th FG markings? Like maybe this one?

EDIT- pic was too big, have to shrink it...

There we go. 334th FS.

Another from the same squadron.

I keep finding profiles of Eagle Squadron Spit Vs with the same markings as the 4th ones, just with the US star over the RAF roundels. Same codes and everything. Apparently the WD, VF and QP codes didn't come along until the Jugs were introduced, learn something every day.

Makes sense that it was the same as they transitioned. That's first group CO Chesley Peterson in the bottom photo of what had at one time been a 71 Squadron RAF Spit. 71 became 334, 121 became 335 and 133 became 336 if memory serves.

71's markings were XR

Of course if we really wanted to ask for something in a Spit, a 133 Squadron Spit IX might be kinda nice

I just never looked into either the Eagle Squadrons or the early 4th enough to notice that. Its a pavlovian phobia- I hear the word "spitfire", I have to punch something.

Crap. there went the bookshelf.

Here ya go. BS313 MD-A

133 had em for a brief time in late 42 but lost 11 of 12 on a Mission to Morlaix when they ran out of fuel after running into unforcast headwinds that blew them way off course.

BUT! 133 did have IXs in combat

The profile has a tropical filter under the nose that the 133 birds wouldn't have had. But I put it together from a template I have along with info I found.

Don Gentiles Vb from Corgi.

Gentile was a 'spare' for the Morlaix mission. Had he gone, his Mustang days woulda never happened. Call it fate

Yes, and we need it in the game.

Bottle of booze to the one who gets it accepted for the next skinpack!
