I dunno, I really like the scheme applied to PV202 at the moment – 19 Squadron, Battle of Britain.

Yes the colours look great, the personal scheme of New Zealand’s top ace Colin Gray from when he was fighting in North Africa. I think it’s the only scheme that make the otherwise ungainly two-seaters look nice.

Have to say that does look very striking.
