I have one comment about both wartime skins: did the Glenn Martins have markings on the upper wings?????? The ML-KNIL fighters (Buffalos, Interceptors and Hawks) did not have them so I would assume that the bombers did not have them either.

[Serval]

I think they had with the roundels, but for the Triangles you are correct. In the contrary to the Netherlands in NEI it was not usual to have them on the upper surface of the wings.

Maybe we should take a closer look at the wing in the Militaire Luchtvaart Museum...

[Aero_Shodanjo]

Hmm... well my mistake then ... But I will look for more pictures first before I repair the skins.

But on the models the Martin has triangles, where the Douglas doesn't

No they are not my models. I went to a modelkit exhibition lately. These are 1:72. My models are all 1:48. If a 1:48 Martin bomber would be on the market, I'll buy it.
