Wow! Those are looking nice. I've always liked the Romanian Air Force liveries and national roundels. They splashed a little color into an otherwise drab affair.

I am very sure, this scheme was used in the MTO by the French Vichy Forces, probably in 1941/1942, when the yellow-red cowlings were introduced, because the earlier white stripes next to the roundel were not distinguishable enough.

Red and/or yellow tails seem to have been used in the Levante especially.

Anyway - these are fine looking dresses for our planes !
