i think im going to go mad - just an idea though were the Starfurys differnet colours on a ship to ship basis or were they uniform regardless of deployment?

the common view i get is off white fighters with marks across the top of the wings - like a Omega etc i actually thought spider squadron would be cool.

My intention - should I ever get around to it - is to paint up my Thunderbolts in WW2 Mustang squadron colours. They were a colourful bunch, and the T-bolt has the elongated nose needed for the squadron ID colours.

B5's fighters seemed to be a bit of a mixture, although the EA ones you saw seemed to have uniform squadron markings (in Severed Dreams and A Voice In The Wilderness).

According to the site's fluff:
Piloted by Babylon 5's first commander, Jeffery Sinclair, this craft is a good example of customized markings. They reflect the Sinclair family history, a tradition of flying fighters that stretches all the way back to the Battle of Britain in WWII. The bold chevron's are the most personal component, representing the markings his father's fighter wore in the Dilgar war. The port 'wing' carries two other notable markings: a service badge for Sinclair's participation at The Line and a set of "invasion stripes*", which commemorate the first Sinclair fighter pilot.
*Found this on a WWII site:
"...during the planning of the Normandy landings, allied commanders feared the possibility of tremendous aircraft losses due to friendly fire. Something had to be done to avoid confusion. Therefore, it was decided to mark every aircraft operating over the beaches with distinctive black and white stripes around the wings and the fuselages. "

That's Sinclair's later fighter. During the Earth/Minbari War his had black and yellow "wasp stripes" on the upper wings.
