R-Z Natacha of the 2nd esquadrilla of Spanish Republican Air Force, shot down by nationalist AAA. It was flown by Leutnant Jose Gomez Gomez and Juan Hernandez , that were wounded.

The plane looks with the usual dark olive green (a report of the time says it is similar to RLM 83), while the color of the undersurfaces is less clear, it could be silver.

The look of the stabilizer is unclear, apparently due to a shadow.
