Can any kind soul help? I'm looking for details of the camouflage scheme used by Alpha Jets of the Force Aerienne Togolaise. My old copy of "Flying Colours" shows a left side view but that's about all I can find. I've scoured various photo websites but haven't managed to scrape up more than a glimpse of the top surface. So I'm missing the right side and a decent top view.

All help greatly appreciated.

http://wp.scn.ru/en/ww4/a/491 This is about all I can find. There are a few African countries in there, but not the one you are seeking. Sorry. Look around the sight. It may give you ideas dor future projects.

Thanks for that, chaps - no luck so far on either site but I'll keep plugging away at them. But I may just give in and make it up. I expect that's what they did in the first place ...

Not brilliant. The links that you and Steffen kindly provided have, unfortunately, come up blank. But the way I figure it, either (i) I can get away with anything because Togo is a tin-pot little country that doesn't maintain its aircraft properly, or (b) I can get away with anything because if I can't find the correct colour scheme, no-one else can either, or (third) I'm going to have to go on holiday to Togo, which I can see might be nice in some circumstances. I do, though, have a better impression of what the colours actually are, even if their placement is going to have to be random. Thanks again for your help.
