Hi forum,

The Royal Netherlands Historic Flight (http://www.skhv.nl/) have an airworthy Twin Beech in their collection. Although not former Royal Netherlands Air Force (none of those still exist) it's painted up like one; with serial G-29. Colourscheme of the fifties.

In the Historic Flight I am "responsible" for the colourschemes, the markings, of the aircraft. We do want them to be as accurate as possible. The Beech is just silver (to represent the bare metal) with the basic markings; roundels and serial. Was wondering though if one might have the details of the stencils; what they look like and where they were positioned, in the (very) early fifties. The Beech 18s, the T-7s, came from the USAF in "standard" configuration I think. So probably with all the markings, the stencils. (e.g. ground, fuel, jack, lift, hydraulic). Very unlikely anything specific Royal Netherlands Air Force. When these are applied the twin would look a bit more "historically correct".

Looking forward to get feedback. Thanks in advance.
