No, actually they have been going to great lengths in fully out-fitting the aircraft with all original radios, instruments, armament, etc. - very nice to see! You can see a good indication of this on this page: http://www.americanaeroservices.com/web ... 00812.html

That is a paint scheme that has been looked at. I do not think final decision has been made yet. The overall colors will match that scheme, but for the detail markings, I do not think it has been 100% decided yet.

I believe that was one of the schemes suggested for the Accurate Miniatures A-36 model when it was released.

Thats right. I've had that kit sitting in my closet for years. It will get built one of these days... :lol: I'll probably use that scheme too.
