| A modified version of an earlier reconnaissance aircraft, the Potez 637, the Potez 63.11 flew for the first time on 31 December 1938. It featured a completely redesigned forward fuselage that included an angular glazed nose section. Between November 1939 and June 1940, the Armee de l'Air took delivery of 723 Potez 63.11s. After the armistice, surviving aircraft saw extensive service with both Free French and Vichy forces; in 1942 many were adopted by the Luftwaffe for training and liaison duties.

Dear John, I found your message after 16 years...
I'm also interested in that aircraft. Recently, the company Print Scale released a decal with a picture of the plane and a three tone camouflage.
I studied it, and I'm still convinced that the old Esci decals sheet has the right interpretation, two colours camo with french grey and kamo.
Overall, both of the two interpretations are good.
