Nice Thunder-Fire build Stuart! Are these markings really pacific theater?

Burma/China - the scheme is the RAF's SEAC (South-East Asia Command) camo - Brown/Green over grey. The two-tone blue roundels were taken from the RAAF and adopted by the RAF. The purpose being to get rid of the Red Meatball in the centre of the standard RAF roundel, to avoid confusion with the Japanese markings - just in the same way the USN and USAAF did.
