P40E of 2 Squadron, South African Air Force

[FTJR]

Revo asked me to skin a p40E he found, and with the assistance of Lyric sent me some pictures.

Piloted by Squadron C/O Major D.B Hauptfleish, 2Sqn, EV421, 1943. It has his intials, this is shortly before the squadron converted to Spitfires the following month.

There appears to be a problem with photobucket server, there are supposedly 3 pics.

Look good  but markings bit too orange. Look spinner is red.

Look good  but markings bit too orange. Look spinner is red.

I believe that's because the South African roundels and fin markings ARE orange.

At some point the SAAF changed over to orange.
Early on they were just the same RAF red.
