And another variation on the same theme (before I call it a day... or weekend)
the MB.155 Now just find the time and energy to convert them into PDF (and hope the test builds turn out ok)

It is a colored copy of an actual BW picture that was found in Italy. |

Hello Bruno. it was a common practice for Hellenic Fighters during the Ipirus campaign to paint the roundels only at the bottom of the wings, not the top. Same thing is true in mostof our planes: PZL24G, Battles, Hencel 126. Same thing with Blochs. And I also have records for the black lines as in the colored copy. |

While I was working on the latest French models, my computer went unstable and my entire file of MB15-series research was corrupted with no back up. The following sketchy info is from my hand-written notes.
BruNo 3190 appears to be MB.151 No. 57, based with the CEP, which may mean Commission d'Etudes Pratiques d'Aéronautique (Commission for the Practical Study of Aviation) at Frejus/Saint Rafael airfield and operating in defense of the airfield. I am not too sure about this, because the airfield was occupied by the Italians at the time of the Armistice, and I do not know how Vichy aircraft would have been stationed there.
