    Hmmm...

    I have a card template for an MS 406. It is in Italian colors (Link), but that can be fixed.

    A person would have to post the squadron and pilot info, though...

    Kevin,
    As usual great painting.
    There is something about the Vichy planes with their camouflage designed to hide them and their nationality markings designed to make them stand out so they can be identified! Just so French in thinking, I think!!

    It wasn't their idea -- it was forced on them by the Germans; the common term for those stripes was "prisoner's pajamas".

    Well there you go, I didn't know that!
    Anyway, certainly one of the most interesting and colourful schemes of WW2.

    It makes me think of a line from Mel Brooks's _To Be Or Not To Be_:

    "Jews have to wear yellow stars; homosexuals have to wear pink triangles."
    "That's terrible!"
    "I know -- it clashes with *everything*!"
