Thank you

It was a steep learning curve, worse than usual for some reason, but I'm happy to have got somewhere in the end...

12 x 18 posters are ready now as well: WS-Clave on deviantART

Nice Clave!

[Bernhart]

would like to see the Dutch one, just recently heard they used them but not sure where they used. Anyone have photo's of the dutch ones? Know where they used them? In Holland or dutch east indies?

[Clave]

Thanks all

I have seen a profile of a Dutch one, and I was ready to do one myself. But from other sources, it seems they were not equipped with them, but there is some doubt on both sides, so I'm leaving it alone for now

[Bernhart]

not sure if this helps you, took it from an IPMS site from Stokhom

The emergency-supplied P-40E and Hurricanes received Dutch national markings, but it's unknown if they got Dutch numerals. One P-40E possibly had a white "3" on the fuselage and tail. The P-40Es arrived late, but two of them may have seen combat action on the last day (March . There have been rumours that up to 12 extra Hurricane Mk.II and 24 extra Hurricane Mk.I have been supplied to and possibly operated by the Dutch.
Also, quoted camouflage colours for the Hawker Hurricane are somewhat speculative. The Dutch were very good in camouflaging their airfields and understood the importance of camouflaged planes. As there was time enough to give the Hurricanes Dutch national markings, I believe it is possible that at least the Dark Earth patches of the camouflage were repainted with Jongblad, which was readily available

Interesting stuff!

I will keep it on my 'possible' list...
