LOVE this paint, but the grey should be white, white/orange, the old Navy stdby, and such a kool paint scheme, etched in the Air Force Brat's psyche from an early age, lots of white and orange birds on NAHA, AB, Okinawa. Lots of overwater flying, I believe the SA-16s were natural Aluminum and Orange, the C-130s may have been the same???
T-Birds either silver or white and orange, anyway, love the orange, it makes it much easier to ascertain the aircrafts orientation.
