About that, just to be sure: I`ve downloaded some paint schemes for 3 aircraft: The Spitfire MK VB, the Focke-Wulf 190 D-4, and the Ju 87 D-3, are these okay for the period:Maybe the color for a model he is building.
Oh so the paint schemes are okay (except for the spitfire's which is a year later), but the aircraft are outdated? Because in the case of the German planes they remained in service during that time according to my knowledge. Or what do you mean? (Sorry if I don't fully understand, english is not my mother language, thanks a lot for replying though, this is very useful).Yep .. the colours for the 1943 are OK. However the Spitfire profile of the no.9 Squadron kite is dated on 1944. The Sky band one the fuselage indicateds the standard ETO camouflage with the Dark Green/Ocean Grey/Medium Sea Grey colours rather. The Ju-87D-1 and the Fw 190A-4 are dated on 1942.

About the markings and numbers: as this project is a work of ficition, I don't want to adress any real pilots or squadrons, so my plan was to create the models of the planes respecting the variant and the paint schemes, but remove the markings, I don`t know if that would be okay.I'm also not a native so don't worry about your English. It is fine.
Regarding the airframe types and being outdated ... all are correct for the 1942/1943 period.
Ju-87D-1 was introduced in 1941 while the Fw 190A-3 and A-4 in 1941-1942. The Spitfire Mk.Vb and c variants in 1941. So these stayed in service, at least, until the end of the 1943.
