Title: Canadian Paint jobs

I think that since the Canadians played such a vital role with Britain during WW2 that we should have a Canadian P51, B17, Spitfire, and Lancaster to use in AH especially in a BoB scenario where the Canadians won most of their awards and metals

just a thought..

There are a lot of Spit variants left to do, and a Mk. XIV in RCAF markings would be cool.

Maybe a Mosquito too.

I'm not sure how you are going to use Mustangs, Fortresses, and Lancasters in a BoB scenario though...   (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

Maybe one day it would be possible to select your skin as we do with ordnance and ammo loadout.  Say you wanted to fly a Spit with Canadian colors you could select the hockey puck with a maple leaf in it and presto!

I'm all for having Commonwealth/European markings on RAF planes, but I would still like to see some more 'British' RAF planes too   (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)  This is perhaps the main reason why I'd love the skin option... we could have French, Belgian, Dutch, S African, Canadian, Aussie, Kiwi...etc...

RNZAF should get the F4U-1A, they had over 400 of them in WW2, and it equipped all their Pacific-based fighter units at the end of the war. Second choice would be P-40, of which they had 297(various models) and achieved almost 5:1 kill ratio.

RAAF should get Spitfire VIII or P-40N-1, plus the Aussie built Beaufighter Mk.21 or Mosquito FB.40.

Yeah Juzz, I'd definitely go for the Beaufighter Mk21 - the 4x.50cal would be a lot better than the 6x.303s!
