Do Harvards count? Can't show the CAM images, but here are some links to interesting Canuck colour schemes (please note the correct spelling of colour).

What? No blue & yellow variants? Did they exist or was that just a default paint scheme from years later. Kind of a "stock" retro favorite of mine. :wink:

Harvards are also interesting but as fellow above said, some blue/yellow and overal navy blue could be interesting.

Cheers

Since Spookythecat posted a picture of a small scale model, I thought I would post a picture of the 1:1 scale.

I am kinda partial to T-6's painted in German markings (swastika and all). I know, I know but when you are in a flight with five or six of them together they look pretty sweet peeling of into a split s. Long live Von Heinz!

Does anyone remember the old CAF shows where the Ju-52, the 111 would fly the show with the German marked T-6 flying cover for one of the European acts? I think the Storch was even floating around up there too! Ahhhhh back in the day! :)
