That is the same scheme that this will have when restored .

Standard scheme no 1. Stearman Vermillion with insignia blue and gold trim. I used randolph butyrate (when I could finally get it, delivery took ten months) on the fabric and a two-pack on the metal. Much easier than using enamels on the metal. Randolph enamel was useless and I found an exact match two-pack. One mistake was using car paint as the gold as that is acrylic and not nitro so is a pain to strip if you get enything wrong.

I can supply colour chips if the guy is interested.

Actually, give him my email, [email]melvyn@melvynhiscock.com[/email], as it would be good to be in touch with him.
