Also worth a look

Squadron 1426 ‘Rafwaffe’

Lots of scope here.  I'm sure there were some Hurricanes pressed into Irish Aer Corp use, and of course the Germans adapted many French ground vehicle chassis to their use (assume conversions/upgrades to captured vehicles would be allowed?)

My country captured a lot of stuff from the opponent in WW2. V-P

Somewhat similarly any British aircraft that came down in Ireland were acquired by IAC,but they surreptitiously paid the British for the aircraft and left the door open where the British pilots were interned :)

For me that'll be the sole P-40M we had. I think SH has it already in the pipeline with proper decals, if not, SBS is our best friend in that business 🙂

I think I have that one in some Aztec(?) decals, plus a Lagg-3 from some LF decals, I can find something, maybe a  Zirkus Rosarius Typhoon with some Luftwaffe decals, damn, that'd mean yellow undersides. :(  I've long had a fascination for such aircaft. Lets not forget the A6M in a USN 3 colour scheme. :) or the Classic planes DB605 powered Spitfire conversion, I can feel confusion coming on. ;) :D

Me please… The USMC captured, repainted, and flew a Ki.61 Tony as an hack for a brief time when they were occupying Yontan China. I love the Tony and need this one so.

Please put me down for one.

 

I think "Leute" means people, so it's something like "Don't shoot - Good guys"

Possibly . . . .

Got a few I'm working on, but plenty of WW1 aircraft in captured markings (Camel, Nieuport and 1 1/2 strutter to name three British types that look very odd in their German markings
