The Flying Fox - Old Concept Art

Description

Found some old concept art for the crew's plane in "The Flying Fox". I sketched this out during Christmas due to my lack of wi-fi.

Back then I didn't have the factory blueprints, nor interior pictures, so I figured I'd have to create my own instrument panel layout (bottom). I was also planning on replacing all the remote controlled turrets with manned ones and getting rid of all pressurization equipment, since I didn't know how any of that worked at the time. I did get some things wrong with the exterior, mainly areas of the nose, cockpit and the landing gear doors, but it was actually pretty close to the real thing (Just compare it to my recent profiles). The interior was way off though, as you'll be able to tell if you've read the story, seeing how the instrument panel's blocking the path to the nose.

There is another reason for me to post this here. Back then I was planning on using that paintscheme for the plane (Olive Drab over bare aluminum, like in most late B-26s, and just forgot to paint the original "The Flying Fox" poster to match (Yes, that drawing is that old, and back then the plane looked a lot more like this). While I will keep all the squadron markings and ZAAF insignia, I was planning on adding the olive drab, and that would actually be a plot point in the story (Though a fairly small one). I'd really like to know what you guys think about that. Paintscheme options are below:
Version 1
Version 2
Version 3

Voted for option c (v3) but it also doesn't matter if my vote gets overridden because the story dictates some other color scheme so I guess I am okay with c or d. I am sure there are valid reasons for the colors, such as having the belly more sky like to hide the plane from ground observers and ground colors on the top to make it harder to see from above. However, ignoring any proper or valid strategic reason, I chose the third color scheme because the nose art of the cute doe bunny shows up better on the darker background.
