Just downloaded the pack and taken a brief look- they look very, very nice indeed. 
Now to install and test them!!!!!!!!!!!
"WP" was the code for 243 Squadron, so these planes served with that squadron originally before probably ending up with 488 Sqn- there was no time to repaint them of course. Buffs taken from reserve sometimes received only an individual code letter, such as AN207 which only sported a "K" before being handed over to 21/453 Sqn. "GA" was 21 Sqn RAAF's code, "TD" was 453 Sqn RAAF. These two were merged after suffering heavy losses over northern Malaya, becoming 21/453 Sqn.
"NF" was of course 488 Sqn; the final Far East Buff squadron was 67 Sqn, which used "RD" as squadron code. 67 Sqn saw action over Burma, being transferred there after being formed at Singapore. The squadron received new Buffs, handing their original set of aircraft to 488 Sqn.
Interestingly, only 488 Sqn's Buffs carried the unit code letters, i.e. "NF", forward of the fuselage roundel on both sides; the squadron code ("GA", "TD", "WP" and "RD") was painted aft of the fuselage roundel on both sides on the Buffs of all other squadrons.
Always love seeing new Buff skins appear! Looking forward to the next set!!!!!!!!!
