This is a most interesting thread, Pablo!

This, and Bruno's latest effort, Potez 63 series, have stimulated my interest in the Franco-Thai air war of November 1940-January 1941. See my post in Bruno's thread at http://www.papermodelers.com/forum/686690-post15656.html

I have ordered the Canwell and Sutherland book.

These are the sources I have identified so far on that conflict (I have the Air Enthusiast volume and Carmelio and Shores):

Armée de l'Air Order of Battle, 1st September 1940, available at http://france1940.free.fr/vichy/ada_sep.html

Paul Camelio and Christopher Shores, Armee de L’Air: A Pictorial History of the French Air Force 1937-1945, Carrollton, TX: Squadron/Signal Publications, 1976.

Diane Canwell and Jon Sutherland, Vichy Air Force at War: The French Air Force That Fought The Allies in World War II (Barnesley, UK: Pen and Sword Aviation, 2011).

C-J. Ehrengardt, “Indochine 39/45: L'incident de Lang-Son,” AeroStories, available at http://aerostories.free.fr/events/langson/

William Green and Gordon Swanborough, “France’s Forgotten Air War,” Air Enthusiast 25, August=November 1984, pp. 22-33.

MSW, “Vichy Air Force in Indochina,” Weapons and Warfare: History and Hardware of Warfare, available at https://weaponsandwarfare.com/2017/08/09/vichy-air-force-in-indochina/

Lots of potential for recolors:

The Thais were flying Curtiss Hawk IIs (available from Roman Vasyliev), Hawk IIIs (available from Bruno as F11Cs), and 75Ns (available from Nobi and Bruno, possible others); Martin 139WSs (B-10 available from Fiddlers Green), Mitsubishi Ki-30s (available from Aaron Murphy), and Vought 93s (O2U available from Bruno).

The French were flying Farman F 221s, Morane-Saulner M.S.406s (available from Bruno), Potez 25 TOEs (available from Bruno), Potez 542s (available from Bruno), and one or more Potez 633s (available from Bruno as 63 series). The French Navy was flying Gourdou-Leseurre GL 832s, Loire 130 seaplanes, and Potez 452s.
