I have dim memories of seeing this or similar in color, but it escapes me at the mo..

Maybe in one of Jeff Ethell's color photo collections? I may be (and usually am!) wrong, but I seem to recall a color photo that showed the rectangular panel beneath the exhausts was red. I will have to check my Ethell references.

I did find this photo of PA892- I'm guessing earlier than the date of the posted photo?

Oboy- I might have guessed right for once! See this link:

There's this photo of MB946 in neutral metal with the red panel in flight:

Also this profile exists:

 

 

And one of the decal options in one of the Alley Cat XI conversions in 1/32 is of PA944 in this colour scheme.

Here's the Alley cat instruction sheet for the wing panels. 

 

 

Everything else on the wing I filled in when I built mine.
