It's hard to see, but the color surrounding the star is green. So it's red (stripe), white (bars and star) and green (star field).
It's an Italian Co-operation aircraft for the Allies. Originally, the Axis MC 605 was used on a Doolittle-like raid of Alexandria harbor from the Italian carrier Aquila. When the Italians capitulated, the Aquila defected and went to the Allies, and was used in the assault on Indonesia a year later. The Italian Fasces have been overpainted, and the stars-and-bars put on.

You can't see it in the picture, but the cockpit canopy is Me-410, as are the swiveling rear-defense guns. Three MC 205's gave their engines for the Vendetta, and a 1/200 Connie gave its tail. The folding wings were a BEATCH.

Another possible radial Bf-110 idea is to swipe two Ki-100 or radial-Judy nacelles that would fit the narrow Bf-110 nacelles, rather than replace the whole thing for the larger-diameter radial engines from some "radial" wing setup like a Potez 631 or something.
My mind is like a compost heap: both "fertile" and "rotten"!
