You ever get anything more on the Spit V with the misaligned invasion stripes?

Also got a research project if you get time -

154 Sqn codes were HT between  Nov 1941 - Nov 1942, and Jun 1943 - Oct 1944

You gotta bet there was Spit HT*C , maybe even an VIII :)

No more luck on AB910.  Can't find a comparable photo of a wartime bird from that squadron with overlapping D-Day stripes.

Only HT-C Spit I've found is this one which is a late XVI.  Think they might let you do a Silver 16? :)

Would depend 'how late' it was.
Would go nicely with a silver RAAF V and a silver FAA Seafire I dug up.

On a side note -
Was up late last night and caught "633 Squadron" (again) on one of the movie channels.
Guess what
One of the Mossies is coded HT*C lol !!!!!!

Lol.

Dunno about the bare metal XVI but you've got me back at the bare metal Spit V I have been playing with for months now.

Another RAAF bird.

I sure hope the HTC folks get around to fixing the nose shape on the Spit V.  Hard to believe it's possible to make a Spit look bad but that nose is just ....off...wrong.....something ....

The VIII, IX, XVI looks right so that kinda makes up for it :)
