Hajnel - check out 141 Squadron's paint schemes on http://www.rafweb.org/SqnMark141-144.htm You will see two nightfighter paint schemes mentioned - overall night black, and later on in the war - camoflaged upper surfaces. June 1941-June 1943 : overall night black. From May 1943 – Jan 1944 : nightblack undersides, camoflaged upper surfaces. Dull red serials and sqdn codes retained, and appeared on both versions. Braham operated using X8147 between 14th June – 30th Sept 1943. So, the choice is yours. My hunch is X8147 was overall night black version. Regret can't be 100% certain about this in the absence of a photo, or better information from elsewhere !
