[Request] SpitfireMkVIII Hyderabad Skin for LowerBurma ATKP
#1

Greetings,

I've always had fantastic results from the community when requesting a skin for Campaigns. So I'd thought I'd try again!

I am looking to build a campaign based on RAF no. 152 "Hyderabad", and the actions of IV, and XXXIII Corps march through LowerBurma during 1945.

This campaign will start in inda, and include the fight through Gangaw Valley, The crossing of the Irrawaddy River, and Operation Dracula (the capture of Rangoon).

What I would need is about eight of these skins with markins because IL-2 doesn't not have No.152 in the game. Twelve would be great, but eight will do.

From what I've read and what I've seen in pictures only "some" of the Spitfires had the Panther on one side. The players aircraft will be one of them. All of them, however, have the Far East Airforce markings.

Osprey: Aircraft of the Aces 87 - Spitfire Aces of Burma and the Pacific has one side-view of MT879 - Code UM - F (seen in one photo above), and also has some details of the actions of this squadron. There is also a view of UM - T (JF835) from April 1944 with a small panther on the engine cowling, the version before it moved to the roundel.

Also, according to a photo on page 72 of the book, UM - C was MT982, not MT 892 in the illustration above, this ws Sqn Ldr Grant Kerr's aeroplane. From pg 69, UM - P was MV406 (flown by Sgt Cyril Potter)
