Dave, Langdon- It does appear 152/17 was all red at some point at Lechelle. Looks like it was being converted from 127/17 and 477/17 color scheme to all red while there. The process was obviously stopped at the interim thick cross level before MvR was killed and that is how it was later displayed. My assumption had always been that it was given a red coat of paint for the display, but that would seem to be wrong or there would not have been peeling paint around the fuselage cross and a hole in the rudder in the one photo. Learn something new every day.
