As for the marking colours ... you can select any kind of colour on any kind of aircraft. Which means it's up to the mission builder or player to select the appropriate colour.

Thanks for the explanation. Again, I appreciate the great flexibility in decorating the acft/skins... The options will be appreciated by all. I assume Skinners will also find many matters/steps easier in BOB than in IL2.

My main comment/concern is that the default aircraft in SOW:BOB, those which will be used in the Campaign and Missions which will come with SOW:BOB, will all be historically accurate.

I'm not complaining at all...just pointing out that the detailed historical documentation on aircraft markings is readily available from quite a large number of Sites. I'm hoping that given the RELATIVELY few units and aircraft types involved in BofB, such accuracy will be incorporated, at release of SOW:BOB, in the default aircraft skins,missions and campaigns.

Thanks for listening.
