    Thank you.

    Hello DazDaMan,
    Thanks for your answer.

    Yes, I have that picture but the nose art is not visible.
    Probably someone in this forum have a picture focusing on the nose art.

    Thanks in advance.
    Best Regards.

    Spitfire X4036

    Thank you very much for your answer, I found that painting and you can read that P/O Bob Doe on Spitfire X4036 AZ-D shot down one Bf109 on August 18th, 1940 also he damaged another one.
    A long time ago somebody told me that the paintings or aviation art sometimes has not correct information (Code Letters, Serial Numbers).

    I hope that somebody help me to know the Spitfires and Hurricanes that P/O Bob Doe flew during the Battle of Britain.
    Thanks in advance.

    Finucane Victories

    Hello Firebird,
    Hope you are doing well.

    Your answer is correct, I read in Osprey Book Spitfire Mk I/II Aces that Finucane had claimed 4 aircraft destroyed, 1 shared destroyed, 2 probably destroyed and 1 damaged up to 1 March (Spitfire Mk I/IIs 65 Squadron).

    I read in another sources that Finucane final victory tally is 32 destroyed.

    Does anyone knows the date, aircraft, serial number and code letter of the spitfires who used to claimed his victories?

    Thanks in advance
    Best Regards

    Spitfire Mk I R6818 YT-? No 65 Squadron
    Spitfire Mk Vb AB852 UD-W No 452 Spitfire
    Spitfire Mk Vb BM308 BF No 154 Squadron

    Victory Production Decals

    Hello Chaps,
    Oh my godness, I found another reference, this is a set of Victory Production Decals “Aces of the Empire” and spitfire P7966 shows the famous nose art.
    The lesson that I learned is:
    “Never use as references plastic models decals or Osprey Books” LOL 🙂

    Douglas Bader

    Hello BIGVERN1966, I hope you are doing well.
    Finally I found a couple of pictures of Douglas Bader spitfires, the source is Dilip Sakar webpage, one of them is W/C Bader climb out from his spitfire and that aircraft do not shows any nose art.
    The next one is his Spitfire Mk V and its shows his famous nose art.
    I think, that Spitfire Mk II P7966 has not nose art but Spitfire Mk V W3185 has nose art but I might be wrong anyway thank you so much for clear some doubts regarding those famous aces and theirs machines.
