I can't find any reference to a Potez 154, we need a picture or a net reference to help you.

I can't find any reference to a Potez 154. I pulled up a list of all Potez models made and a 154 doesn't appear on the list. A typo, perhaps...? Did you mean the Potez 54/540? As in the 1/72 Heller kit?

 Modeling is an excuse to buy books.

Yes " G " ;

 As usual I got the number classification wrong . Remember it's a plane . I don't build as many of those as I do Ships .  It is the Heller 1/72 Potez 540 . Thanks T.B.

It has no interior so I painted mine flat black. Old model from my photo file, not proud of that build.

Boy !

    Now really ? Mine has an interior and I intend to do more . I have not seen a 1/72 scale aircraft with so many clear windows in it . Thank You , I guess I will then paint it Sea Blue .I think that will do okay .  T.B.

Here are two articles on the 540 by an aquaintance who is a fine modeler, mostly does off beat and scratch built subjects.  He used a sand color.  I suspect the airplane was metal and wood structure with fabric covering over the wood.
