I hope it keeps the French Navy colors... it looks really good in them, but I imagine it will probably revert to a US Navy scheme. It would be nice to see something different though... perhaps a Thai scheme.

The French Navy never had Bearcat, just French Air force use them. And Only in Indochina. The plane were delivred by CV, and were transfered to Thai air force after the departure of french Troops.
