What ones?
The 348th FG was odd in that by the end of the war, it had 4 squadrons assigned, the 340th, 341st, 342nd, and 460th. Each squadron used a single color on the tail to note to which squadron the aircraft was assigned. All aircraft assigned to the 340th used red. 341st used yellow, 342nd used blue, and eventually the 460th used black. These were carried through from the beginnings in Australia in 1943 all the way to the end of the war, including their transition to P-51s, and also added the color to the prop spinner on the Ponies.
1. Daring Dottie, assigned to the 341st, should have a yellow paint band on the tail, instead of red
2. Red 61, #28054 was assigned to the 342nd, and should have a blue on the tail, instead of red
3. The color blue used by the 342nd is a darker, navy blue. This is confirmed with pictures.
4. When the artist states the tail trim tabs were outlined in OD, this should be the tail color (navy blue)
5. Fiery Ginger I, (blue 73)--nose art was all white
6. Fiery Ginger IV, nose art was all white with black shadowing. Also, Fiery Ginger IV included the Roman numeral and was painted a bit different that the original Fiery Ginger. Looks like the artist just used the same artwork and colored it differently.
Just a few details.
@Greebo, I think Bonnie would make an excellent skin, as would any of the Fiery Gingers. I suppose IV would be more interesting since it was the only aircraft that carried all of Kearby's kill markings. Also, I suspect that the tri-color tip of the vert stabilizer is blue, yellow, red instead of blue, white, red. Kearby only flew aircraft assigned to the 342nd squadron, but he began a practice of representing all 3 squadrons (at the time) with the colors. I do not have a color picture of that aircraft to confirm that. Anyway, you can also see this with the P-51 version of Bonnie, which has all four colors, blue, red, yellow, black, on the spinner.
