Yes, the link Jen provided has some great photos and that style paint scheme wouldn't be too difficult. I'll let you know about the Belgian Camo later
Some of the T-Birds assigned to Canada's fighter bases in NATO Europe during the Cold War used flightless birds as tail art starting some time in the 1960s - Penguin, Kiwi, Roadrunner. The only fighter base that didn't was 2 Wing, Grostenquin, France, which used Snoopy for a while. Grostenquin shut down in 1964, before the bird tail art became the 'standard'. See post #305 above.

April 16, 1961 -- One of RAF 83 Squadron's Vulcan B2 bombers sharing the skies over Ottawa with her Commonwealth compatriots. Four of the RAF's brand-new atom bombers participated in exercise Sky Shield II, a comprehensive two-day test of North America's air defense network involving the air forces of the United States, Canada, and Great Britain. Before their return home, a photographic session was arranged with the RCAF's "Red Knight" demonstration aircraft. Another Silver Star camera ship from nearby RCAF Uplands flies behind.

(Well...none of this really happened, but it could have, since all these aircraft were in the places mentioned at the right times. What a beautiful set of paints, jocko! I'm having a great time. Thanks so much!

A nice shot that wouldn't have been possible without your work, so thanks again!
I'm not a RAF markings aficionado, but apparently that's the emblem of Marshall of the Royal Air Force Sir John Cotesworth Slessor, Chief of the Air Staff between January 1950 and December 1952, and one of the men most responsible for the creation of Britain's "V-Force" nuclear bombers. And, of course, that's the same XL426 that survives today in taxiable condition at Southend (the "anti-flash" scheme is included with the JF Vulcan package).
Just a quick note… I’ve installed MSFS2024 and the (new 2024 version) iniBuilds T-33, and while the aircraft works fine the livery format appears to be completely different in MSFS2024 (where’d I put that banging your head against the brick wall emoji?) than what it is in MSFS2020… so, while I continue working through my T-33 livery requests list for 2020, I’m going to forgo skinning for 2024 until I have a chance to sit down and figure out the new format, or whether 2024 can somehow be made to accept legacy livery files or not.

The format change is really frustrating. I hope it leads to better performance in FS2024, at least. Feels like FS2020 planes already do well in the 2024 engine, but I assume they didn't change the stuff arbitrarily.
Would absolutely love to see your RCAF stuff in the new sim, jocko417, or at least some of them, once things are figured out!
I wish that MS would just come up with a freaking extensible file format for their aircraft/sceneries, so that when they add new features, they could just extend the format with the new info needed without changing the underlying basics. Kind of like the old IFF graphics format on the Amiga...

Jocko, I flagged this for the Inibuilds team, asking about a 2024 paintkit and (I know I'm probably dreaming here) if there's any simple process for adapting 2020 repaints to 2024.
Here's the topic, if you want to watch it or add any input from someone who's actually created liveries.
Using FS2020 T-33 paints on 2024 -- new paintkit? Conversion?
There have been some fantastic repaints released for the T-33, including about a dozen paints representing just about the entire history of the plane in the RCAF. However, the FS2020 paints don't work on the FS2024 update. Which leads to a pair of questions: 1) Will there be an updated paintkit f...
