Bf110s look very similar to the Potez, don't you think?

 

[Wayne Little]

The colourful markings should make it standout!

Bf110s look very similar to the Potez, don't you think?

actually it was that reason some of them were shot down by their own anti-aircraft guys. Perhaps it is the reason for the bright colors of the one I will do.

Nice work on the lights and engines! Having no knowledge of this aircraft, I'm really looking forward to seeing the paint scheme.

 

[Wildcat]

may 1940 general Pinsard wrote:" because they are similar to Ms 110, the night fighter Po63 were often attacked by friend fighters...to prevent a friendly fire it was recommended to paint one large white stripe on each fuselage side and oversized the fuselage roundel + 5 cm white outline"

Good work so far!

Another weekend and another push toward completion. Did more research into the 631 and found a few more references, thanks waroff for the information. I found information confirming what you were telling me. Here is the directions for the plane I plan to paint. I have not found anywhere examples of this color scheme and I have found the directions faulty. Still I like this set up and will try to do this.
Started painting with an under coat / priming of white. The light color will brighten the red and yellow somewhat before I dull them down.

 

[Wildcat]

Should look great in that scheme.

 

[Night Fighter Nut]

got the panel lines darkened and added the yellow...
