Cheers Ross, However Steve has found what I was after and passed it on, I'll post the finished profile when its done. Cheers to everybody who replied. However one problem, the aircraft under side is very dark and no detail is visible except for a possible white stripe across the wing at about the point at which the aileron and flap meet. I do believe that the under wing D-day markings were removed on 2TAF / ADGB aircraft before Sep 44, hence did the RAF Mustangs have such a marking on the wings, post the removal of the D-Day wing stripes. Does anybody know??? State of play on profile attached.

Regards Richard
