USAF Beechcraft Queen Air-Seminole

[Linescriber]

Any ideas on what would have been the paint scheme of a US Army/USAF Queen Air in 1971 era??

White tops,  olive drab green lower sides and  wings all glossy. Separating the white and green  would be a white pin stripe or two Serial  and US ARMY titles in yellow. 

At least the ones I saw were.

As for USAF ones,  light grey  with white tops. The grey wasthr ADC shade. Serials and titles black or dark insignia blue.

I have a copy of the Army's aircraft painting and marking manual for that period. Send me a pm with your email address and I'll be happy to send you copies of the relevant pages for the U-8F.

Do you mean the Square tail version?

Are you making a 1/72 U-8 Seminole?

 

What kit are you using? 

 

I love those 70's 80's light communication types. The Cessna 310/U-3 is a favourite  Shame there aren't more kits out there.

Sorry Smudge. Was away. Nope not making a model, but a side view of Chuck Yeager's Queen air in Pakistan that was shot up by IAF Hunters during the 1971 war.
