There are lots of possibilities for recolors of ML-KNIL (Netherland East Indies Army Air Force) and MLD (NEI Naval Air Service recolors).

I think Buffalos in NEI colors are available in various scales and Roman Vasyliev once did a Curtiss CW-21b in NEI colors. Aaron Murphy designed a Martin B-10 for FG, and Scott Fyn and/or Aaron would probably give permission for a recolor. gerard1938 designed a Douglas DB8A-3N (export A-17) in ML-KNIL markings and a Dorner 24K in MLD markings (not the orange/black triangle, but the tricolor rectangle used after the opening of hostilities and before NEI aircraft were remarked with RAAF roundels (Brewster Buffalo in the East Indies Dutch markings).

The Dutch flew a lot of different airplanes in the NEI. They are listed in this Wiki article https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Royal_...Army_Air_Force and most of them show up in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y_9CQPAS3CM

Dutch air operations in Burma, 1942: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rq50X2PUpTs&t=10s

This Wiki article on the 1941-42 campaign in the NEI has a bibliography with books on air operations in the NEI: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dutch_...ndies_campaign

And these two websites are useful: Camouflage & Markings: Colours of the Dutch Air Force (Part II)

Apologies for the diversion, Kacper, but I thought you and the others would find this info useful, and it provides info for possible future recolors.
