Hello, I am new here. I am looking for informations about color schemes of Romanian Bloch MB-210's and Potez 543's. Are there any color profiles of these machines?
Thank You in advance!

(Just to clarify what I am looking for:
I saw a picture of Potez 543 No.3 from above, so I only need to know, if these machines were overall green, or undersides were light blue.
Regarding MB-210, I would like to know, how looked the cammo scheme of green/brown on upper sides of the wings.)

I believe the cammo was only olive green upperside and light blue gray underside.

Some ARR MB.210s were painted in two-tone upper camouflage scheme (probably dark green & earth brown), over light blue/grey (see for ex. photo in the mentioned French book, p. 9, bottom, showing the very same No. 6 clearly sporting multi-colour upper camouflage - photo originally coming from my collection).

Thank You for Your effort.

Althought two tone upper scheme would be great, green over light blue is also good. Do You know which particular S/No. among ARR Blochs was only green on upper surfaces?

Also, I am a little bit confused about the undersides color. Sometimes it is shown to be also green. I suppose, that it is not correct, but I am not sure.
