P.A.F. Martin B-57 livery & general information

[albertz]

Hello Chaps,

Im looking for infromation on PAF B-57 aircraft for a scale model build, however google search etc throws up various images old and new with varying paint livery and decals, its hard to tell what colour these aircraft actually were, some appear grey blue all over, some two tone ( black underneath, natural metal on top ) some appear black, there are also variations in nose cone colour ( some white, some black ,some none ), also serial numbers appear red in some paintings but white in others.

Basically im looking to detail the aircraft in the colours of No.7 or No.8 sqn during 1965 campaign, any known serail numbers / details would be a great help, also any knowledge of the aircrafts cockpit, as US aircraft had bright red seat covers!! is this right?

Any help, much appreciated!

search forum gallery for better images. mostly they were either 'grey/black' or 'natural metal' colour.

Yeah, i already have these images, old squadron photos, and pics of the B-57 at the museum, not enough detail im afraid, also the insignia on the bottom of the tail is unclear, is this no.7 or 8 sqn or 31st bomber wing? Hard to tell, thanks anyway!
