I'll go for a Potez 63 series. Seeing that appears to be in French livery its probably the heavy fighter version (sort of a French Bf110). Used 2 Gnome-Rhone 700hp radials.

I don't think it's a Potez 63, i would go for a Liore et Olivier Leo 451. (olivier is my first name BTW   ).
the nose is not one of the Potez, looks like an olivier without the observation window in hte nose and an extended conopy.

Ioups, there is the aileron system below the wing ... a potez 631? the night fig version, 3 seater?

So Brady...what is it?

  Frenchy it is a 633,atack bomber varient widely exported and little used in combat by the French. I am fond of the 63 series and would like to see it added one day, amongst other French planes
