The repaint request thread

[JoeS475]

How about some exotic ones?:

Great picture, never realized the Thai's used Helldivers! What is that plane between the Texan and the Helldiver? Has a real long canopy, like a torpedo bomber of some type...

Joe

"long canopy, like a torpedo bomber" That is a Fairey Firefly used in Korea by the Royal Navy, then course become Thai hand me downs

Ahh thanks Ian! I even looked up the Firefly when I was trying to figure it out, and the ones I saw had more of a shark fin tail and a bubble on the canopy, so I disregarded it. I just looked again, deeper this time, and sure enough this more T-6-like tail and a flatter canopy was to be seen on some examples...

Cool stuff!

Little off topic I know, but as per the T-6 there were a few different Firefly models. The one with the bubble canopy etc might be the AS.7?





Off to see if have any Thai T-6 photos now......

Do you think somone could paint a T-6 to look like the P-51, "Never Miss"? That would be cool

I was wondering if someone would be willing to make me a repaint for the texan, what im looking for is a blue and white setup, top being blue and along the belly being white, along with part of the underside of the wings, the tail would go into white similar to that of a fox tail, i plan on using it as a charter airline theme, i chose foxes because i really do like foxes and blue is my favorite color, i would like to have the name "Kota Fox" where the pilot sits just under the glass in white, as far as tail number goes, i would like it to be N6314K as this day has special meaning to me..also being painted up mostly as a warbird i would like to keep a bit of that military feel to it..would mean alot to me to have this done, i appreciate it

Here are some work in progress shots of a repaint of Bruce Olson's AT-6G, which is based at Flying Cloud airport in Minnesota. This is another in the series of the Minnesota "T-6 Thunder" Texans (consisting of 14 Texans, 25 pilots) - the others done so-far include the "Craig Field" N85696 repaint I did (also based at Flying Cloud) and the default product paint scheme N7083C, which is based at Lake Elmo, MN. Bruce Olson is pretty much the leader of the "T-6 Thunder" group, and he puts about 140 hrs on this aircraft every year, flying every Wednesday from April till the fall (usually leading formations with other T-6 Thunder guys).

Nice - had been hoping to see this one show up among the available Gitmos. Glad to see it's getting your full treatment. Looking forward to it.

Thank you Alan! I've got Jim Beasley's Guantanamo-marked AT-6 "Six of Diamonds" also just about finished ("Pamela Marie's" stable mate).

Interesting aeroplane. Not sure where they got that font from or the '59620' but it's a AT-6D Texan fitted with a G canopy. Previously 42-44467 and then H-103 with the Belgian Air Force. After being demobbed saw service with Air France as F-BJBM and now F-AZRD.

Interesting, thanks for the extra information. It's a beauty for sure. Like to hear the history of the T-6's. Found this http://bdd.deltareflex.com/cns_affiche.php?image=12611

I've collected a bunch of photos of that one (F-AZRD), with the intention of eventually doing it if no one else gets around to it. The nose art on it is artwork by the fantastic French artist Romain Hugault, who does a lot of WWII-themed aircraft and pinup illustration, as well as other vintage-inspired work in his own style: http://romain-hugault.blogspot.com/

He has also done the poster work for a number of the warbird airshows in the UK and Europe, including Flying Legends and La Ferte Alais.
