Experimental paint schemes, but would be neat. :)

Experimental but never used. The Allison-powered Mustang was never used except to test visibility on it, stateside. The others are pre-war based on the Hawk biplanes (F1F-1's?) on the lineup.

Dazzle paint jobs...

That paint scheme on ships proved ineffective against airplanes.

... missions were to be met by the commitment of alerted swarms of fighters, composed of Me 109's and Fw 190's, that were strategically based to protect industrial installations. The inferior capabilities of these fighters against the Mosquitoes made this a hopeless and uneconomical effort. 1.JD KTB

I'm pretty sure it would be impossible with the available pixels and the wrapping/warping in many areas.

James May from the actual show Top Gear explains this type of cammo, and then demonstrates its relative effectiveness.
