Does anyone have any photos (good, bad, or ugly) of Korean L-5s in service?

I love the Korean War Rough Camo on the L-5s... Paint Brush applied. Notice the Air Sea Rescue Yellow and black band that was painted over for combat...

Just cause of inquiring minds- did you mean Korean War service L-5's, or ROK-AF (Republic of Korea Air Force) L-5's?

Nice photos Taylor - does anyone know what colors those might have been?
