Think a snowballs chance in Hades

Attached is my master Aircraft Roundel file and you will find roundels for Bolivia and Paraguay

Have fun........keep in mind this is my personal rough copy and was never intended to be used by anyone but me and it contains experimental images that have evolved over many years so WYSIWYG for Paraguay use France. Red outside blue center white middle so the Potez 25 that is already in the French OOB could be used for Paraguay. Bolivia is red yellow green from outside to center. Easy peasy

More than 150 never before published illustrations, complimented by an exhaustively researched text, document the little-known air war between Bolivia and Paraguay during the late 1920s and early 1930s. Full details of such aircraft as Fiat C.R. 20s, Curtiss Hawk IIs, Curtiss Ospreys, Potez 25s and all other types employed by both combatants, including acquisition, operations, and markings make this a must for historians, modelers, and anyone interested in golden-age aviation.

You will find most of those aircraft are already in the game except to my great surprise a Fiat Cr.20 so here's the whole set--just copy and paste the image

I have this book, that's why I asked about aircraft.

Anyway, many thanks for the icons.

Colombian markings....

A more likely colour scheme--silver painted fabric-- on a Bolivian Vickers Type 149 Vespa II recce bomber. The photo I found of it shows the engine uncovered

My computer broke down a few years ago, and I still haven't replaced it yet Looking forward to this years updates, as I'm anticipating I'll buy a new computer this year and "get back in the saddle"! These updates are perfect timing, as Steel Panthers is without a doubt the thing I miss the most about having no computer.

Right now the best guess for the final release of winSPWW2 will likely be sometime during the week of May 5-11 with nearer the end of the week more likely but that is still tentative.

The Schiffer book you linked above has four photos of Vespas all painted overall silver.
Another book by one of the authors (Hagedorn) has another photo;again silver.

Will both icons be included?

The silver one is

Green OOB unit 389
