I have been checking the blue engine cowl with no success. The calculation of chords and arcs says outside dia of 1.5m. The BMW 801 was 1.29 and there were few other radial engines of that dia in use.

From the paint and the Toulouse location – I am assuming it is either German or French used by the Luftwaffe. Latecoere aircraft were made there pre fall of France.

I have managed to discount the Ju88 which were made at Toulouse. The cowls are wrong.

The three rectangular cut outs must be distinctive.
