Hey Thomas,
Any possible way you could make Arthur G. Donahue's Spitfire. He grew up in St. Charles, Minnesota which is about 40 minutes or so where I live.
Here is a linke to help you out if you would be willing to do this as he is one of my all time heroes. Sadly he was KIA on 9-11-1942.

Great repaint. Thanks.
You may want to update the fltsim entry for P.O. Art Donahue, however. It currently reads (per my download) for "Spitfire USAAF Lt_Sylvan Feld"

Re: Paintkit and Skins
Thougt i would put up a paintkit i made some years ago (again), not beeing so active here lately and when i loged in i had a couple of old requests for it in my inbiox Well, better late than never
EDIT: Redone the whole skin!
Some more research! Hopfully closer to correct colour on tha plane, and more corect markings ...
Reworked the Bump-file to better suit the paint... More work on the Alphas and so on... Its as close i can get for now anyway.
Note: IRL, The interior were never repainted on those spits, so the green original textures should be more lifelike, but if you as I, like a blue interior just ceep all texture files in the folder (If a texture is removed it should load the green original Spitfire textures instead.
Also changed from MkIIB to MkIIA model, as there should be no canons..
Its a paintkit from the Swedish Airforce, used in the 50s as a reconnaissance plane, equiped with cameras. The Swedish Spits got the designation S31 (S for "Spaning" which means just reconnaissance)
This particular Spit, with the number 31020-40 flew a couple of secret missions over Russia in the beginning of the "Cold War", which later led to that a Swedish DC3 on rconnaissance mission over international water, near the Russian border dissapered.
A Consolidated Catalina, trying to find the missing DC3, was then shott down on the Baltic Sea by a Russian Mig-15...
50 years later, 2004 the DC3 was salvaged from the seabed, and are now at display on the Swedish Airforce Museum in Linköping.

Re: Paintkit and Skins
I see someone has done this now for Xplane. Hoping one of our A2A repainters can do the same for our beloved Spit. This epic journey begins this year and it would be great to have a version in P3Dv4. Wish I had the skills https://www.silverspitfire.com

Re: Paintkit and Skins - Biggin Hill
Anyone know where I can find any Biggin Hill skins from 1940. In reverence to one of the first models I ever built, The Revell 1/32 DW-K (Tamiya and Airfix did versions, too. Funny how the different companies use the same subjects.)
I've seen pictures of a DW-E skin, but haven't found it yet. DW-K would be even better
Here's a little history of 610
https://scarfandgoggles.wordpress.com/tag/610-squadron/
There were actually quite a few DW-K's http://610squadron.com/aircraft-of-610- ... 1936-1957/
Revell did N3029,
N3289 here would be another one,
Interestingly, N3029 was later rebuilt to MkV specs
Here's X4102
and P9495 is a popular subject as well
What series is the A2A modeled after?

Re: Paintkit and Skins
A request was made, so I tried to make it as close to the real thing as I can, I don't get much time on the PC so this was a paint that probably took a couple of hours to do. The reg on the photos are actually not the original plane, so I did the original plane reg belonging to Colin Gray.
