Why would you shame the BT like this?

Ouch, those colors are just not doing it for me.

I don't mind it that much, but let's face it the BT's look best in natural metal.

I remember seeing a pic once of a BT that was being used as a hack by some outfit in the CBI, and although it was a b&w pic the airplane looked somewhat similiar to this one.

(Heck - parts of mine are purple!) :D

...because the owner can't afford a Mustang to paint in those colors!

Ha HA I hear you Jack

HA, I know the guy who restored this, in fact he did it in our hangar. I don't have anything nice to say about him or the aircraft. It appears that it has since changed hands.

Now that I look at the picture more closely it appears to be... green on the bottom?!

Far out...

I like aircraft with the 'olive drab' paint. They look more authentic. Although you see most BT-13's in NMF I am sure some were painted in Olive drab over Natural Gray during WWII. In fact I have seen pictures of them like that.

Maybe it's supposed to look like a P-66?

Color blindness? :roll:

Sun Feb 11, 2007 2:12 pm

at least it's not super-glossy, with a giant shark's mouth...

Sun Feb 11, 2007 6:08 pm
