2: 92 sqn did NOT have black and white undersides during the BoB only from December 1940, but those were Spit MKIIs with white spinners and white tailband.

Please do your homework better, the importance of historical accuracy is paramount!

May I suggest you also do your homework.
I'm looking at a picture of Spitfire Mk1B (QJF) of 92 Sqn Serial R6908 August 1940 and it has Night white undersurfaces. All Production Spits built between 29th April '39 and 6th June '40 had night white factory finish.

White tailband and spinner was introduced to R6908 (a Mark IB) 27th November 1940 (so you have a point there)

As far as I can find the Night/White was intoduced in late 1938/early 1939 and became standard scheme from April 1939 to June 1940 when Sky was overpainted.
However some Sqn's still had the old scheme on aircraft in service prior to the battle.

Nice update though gents, the Spitfire camo shades look great, especially with the darker light source.

The german kites look so good but ASAP someone needs to figure out how to add a swastika to the tail.

OK, one Q for Luthier: Did you get CoD to go above 2GB yet?

Love the hills in the shots really gives that rolling feeling. Also the pilots in the planes look awesome especially the spitfire pilot you can really see them. Also the last shot looks good as well, just imagine what sort of movies could be made with the effects that good.

PS Oh, also noted the trailers for the guns are different, is it the angle they are looked at or different screen capture speed?
