C-45 Paint Schemes

Hi Mike

thanks for those pictures

I have tried to contact Bill Larkins but to no avail.

I know Taigh (not well) but he is so busy nowadays i am struggling with him also.

love AT-11’s would love to see one over here.

this one is out – been done already

looking for something just that little bit different

MATS or the photo mapping scheme is under consideration

personally i like the Alaska markings on the F-2 variant – 1st photographic sqn but owner doesn’t like orange.

even the red and yellow from the Ronne Antarctic expedition photos i linked a couple of weeks back – this is unique but red/orange again.

A selection of Bill’s shots of Beech 18s in military service:

I left out the AT-11s and civilian-registered examples, but was rather taken with this 1964 shot of an AT-11 converted for spraying

Two suggestions would be contacting Bill Larkins (who has been photographing aviation around the SF Bay area and further afield since the late-1930s)

And Taigh Ramey

thanks for the pics

maybe i should have been a little clearer on the Project

this is not a model or a profile – the information is for a complete re-spray of a Beech 18.

this is a chance to come up with an outstanding and accurate new paint scheme for an aircraft which will be seen on the UK air show circuit.

etch and priming is underway – top coat will be applied when we get the right scheme approved.

USAF 50’s / 60’s seems favorite but equally a US Navy scheme could be on the cards.

No Orange or red suggestions please – they are out.

MATS might be good but decent pictures required

Nothing ventured nothing gained, may be a bit late, but may also be of some help
