Great job on these!

These type of what-ifs are my favorite, they are likely to cause some of the JMNs to scurry off to check their reference books. ;)

Really nice  :thumbsup: - I think the RAF tail flash was standard on US Aircraft in North Africa (not just Torch) as it was on some Mitchel's ? in the Western Desert. I don't know if it carried over to Husky and Sicily though

If you mean the yellow and black checkerboard was used even in Italy. And the outline of the "Black Fuse" is as we find in the Aeromaster decals. :thumbsup:

No, he means the red-white-blue vertical stripes on the tail - as was standard for British planes. ;)

The decals scheme is a copy of the spitfire on torch operation. so I have understood, shortly after, the scheme returned to their standard brands.
In my fantasy, my planes have british pilot when I want.


Of course  :thumbsup: They look great no matter who, when, or where, they are flying  :cheers:

Yes, I know the D-3802 but it was a developement of the Morane Saulnier, It was a very nice plane, I want to have one, but I don´t find in 1/48 scale. The problem is the wing, my P-52 have a bigger surface, like the P-40.
