Title: 2 Skin requests for 305 Sqn RAF
Post by: Plazus on October 21, 2011, 05:19:00 PM

I unfortunately do not have any additional sources. These photos were scanned from a book called "Official Polish AF History In WW2". Both of the aircraft pictured below were flown by 305 Squadron RAF. I thought it would be nice to have a few more Polish skins to represent in game.

The first photo is a profile that could be used on our Mosquito Mk XVI.

This photo below could be used for our B-25C.

I can't help you with the B-25 as I never did a template for that plane.

The Mosquito I could skin if there was some more info on it. It looks like it has black undersides but what colour is the top? I'd suggest probably PRU blue or possibly grey and dark green. Also what is the squadron code (SM-?) and does it have PR two colour roundels or four colour bomber ones? Really I'd need a photo of the rear of the fuselage to skin it. Had a quick look through my books and on the net but did not turn up anything.

Based off the photo from that Polish link I posted I would say all blue.

Cant help with the roundels at present or if a squadron code is there.
