Wow, that is very nice work WhyMe. I like those experimental testbeds, never knew the Be-8 had been used for such trials.

(First of all, sorry for doubleposting of sorts, even if separated with several hours)

Here's the first of the Naixoterk's previously-unpublished works - Royal Navy Grumman Martlet (F4F Wildcat)
-Martlet Mk.I was a designation of the 100 G-36A aircraft (85 actually delivered) originally built for France (and Belgium?) and diverted to Great Britain after the blitzkrieg of Spring 1940. They had French equipment and armament, nine-cylinder, single-row R-1820-G205A radial engine and non-folding wings (which limited them to land-based operations).
-Martlet Mk.II was a designation of the G-36B aircraft ordered from the beginning by the Royal Navy. They had Pratt & Whitney R-1830-S3C4-G engines, stronger (than US models) armor and self-sealing tanks, as well as folding wings which allowed them to actually perform carrierborne service (including on the first escort carrier, the HMS Audacity).
-Martlet Mk.III were 30 F4F-3A aircraft from the Greek order of 1940-1941 that were diverted to North Africa after fall of Greece.
-Martlet Mk.IV were F4F-4 aircraft with some British-specific changes, most importantly with Wright R-1820-40B Cyclone engine. 220 were made for RN.
-Wildcat Mk.V (initially briefly Martlet Mk.V, before it was decided to use US names on imported planes instead) were FM-1 aircraft, 312 of which were made for RN.
-Wildcat Mk.VI were FM-2 aircraft, 370 of which were delivered to RN.

Great Britain, Grumman Martlet (F4F Wildcat)

Also, the never-were (or more precisely: never-delivered) Grumman Wildcats were added here:

There were no "fake U.S." markings for operation Torch. It was decided ahead of time
to mark all participating tactical aircraft with U.S. roundels to avoid friendly fire from the
many participating U.S. Navy and merchant ships, as well as U.S. aircraft. Any deception
believed by the Vichy French was purely unintended.

Another of Naixoterk's previously unpublished works (with parts of it - only among those less demanding - done by me).

Great job! I've never seen a good illustration of the floatplane version before.
