Title: Had this one lieing around awhile
Post by: Kev367th on August 26, 2004, 12:17:50 PM

Bob Stanford Tuck's Hurrii 2C while commanding 257 Sqn.
The one he got kills # 27 and #28 in.
His 1st one to carry 'kill' markings.

I imagine I'm getting to be a bit of a pain Kev :)

257 Squadron codes were DT and Tuck's Hurri carried the individual letter A

Images of Tuck's well known Hurri I that carried those markings including the kill markings under the canopy rail

Lol, no problem.

For some reason his code was changed from DT-A to FM-A on his Hurri 2C. Probably because 257 Sqn code changed to FM in May 1941.

Although I agree DT-A is his most famous, but that was Hurri I.

If you have links/pics of any unusual schemes, let me know. HTC is not accepting basic camo schems if one already is in game. e.g. same camo different squadron codes.
I have PSD files for tiffy, hurri 2c, seafire and spit 9.
