To mark the 70th anniversary of the Battle of Britain, the RAF Tucano Display Team have had their two aircraft painted to represent aircraft that fought in the battle:

It’s a great idea and I’m looking forward to seeing the display at some point this year. I really do think the Tucano looks fantastic in this colour scheme.

Yes it does! I painted Piglet's Super Tucano for FSX in a number of RAF type schemes including a WWII style camo one as there isn't a Shorts Tucano for FSX.

The Simshed one has issues in FSX SP2/Accel though. The old prop behind the clouds problem for one.
