Could anyone assist me with a couple of skins please? 1x Hurri and 1x 109

I see that the RAF markings differ to the Luftwaffe's.

RAF keep their codes in the front or rear of the roundel on both sides of their aircraft, while the Luftwaffe keeps their markings in order, ie.. O+JX would read O+JX on the other side.

Actually, it differed from squadron to squadron. On Hurricanes (which I know best), the fuselage shape made very little room behind the fuselage roudels. Particularly with the larger letters and the broader fonts (the one used on this plane is the narrowest of the RAF fonts), the starboad side of the foselage could be a bit cramped. The squadron codes sometimes covered part of the serial for instance. Some squadrons (but not all) solved this by having the two-letter squadron code forward of the roundel on both sides.

No 1 Squ was one of those, the same goes for Nos 43 (FT), 76 (AL and NV), 128 (WG) and 134 (GO) RAF as well as No 1 Squ SAAF and as a number of others (don't have all my Hurricane refs here at the moment). There were a number of variants on the basic squ-roundel-individual scheme though. Some squadrons flew with the reverse order (Nos 312 (DU) and 527 (WN) for instance), and particularly in Africa a few squadrons flew with individual letter only.

This is only for Hurricanes, Spitfires sometimes had the same phenomenon (see Kristorf's sig), other planes had other peculiarities. See the Whirlwind in my sig for an example.

To sum up, you need references, preferably photos, to make an accurate skin.
