Blenheim in Italian Co-Belligerent Air Force markings.

Ah, yes. The Italian markings threw me off. And thanks for educating me about the Italian Co-Belligerent Air Force.

Surely it's Free French, not Italian?

Yes … looks French to me, too. Phil

Its A Bristol Blenheim in Free French service, the artwork loos like a modern computer render shall we say "more than a little inspired" by the classic airfix box art of Roy Cross 1968. However looking at the link, the revision is by Airfix so they must own the copyright. link Roy Cross was to aircraft what Angus McBride was for Military Illustration! Both true masters of their craft.

Yes, my bad. It is Free French. What threw me off is I have decal sheet with both Italian pre-43 roundels and the Free French roundels and crosses. Go figure.
