Hmmm ... I'm having flashbacks of a pre-war Italian twin airliner / prototype bomber with a rainbow ribbon painted swooping down the fuselage. I found the red, green and white Sia-Marchetti trimotor, but not the pic I ws thinking of.
Am I heading n the right direction or am I dreaming?

Wow. The only one that comes to mind with that could be the Me-110Z, used for the 321 gliders

Bingo!

Specifically the P-61C which had extra stuff so needed more space to take off.

You're up, Nigel.
