Hello

Yes, I mean the stripe with the number, but the colour is a wild guess. I must note, that it looks, that few months later, aircraft #64 had different markings applied - photo is unclear but it seems narrow stripe close to the fuselage, and removed wing guns. Of course, assuming it is the same aircraft, and not replacement also coded 64.

I am the author of the Model Hobby article. I do not recall being able to see anything of the serial, which was quite a disappointment for me. I would say the theory is risky, but obviously it cannot be disproven. Please note, that the Eskadra emblem on the plane is correct in the Model Hobby article and Mirage Hobby model kit. Beak and legs were of green colour (blue in other Eskadra), and not yellow, as portrayed.

I hope this helps.
