Linescriber Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 Any ideas on what would have been the paint scheme of a US Army/USAF Queen Air in 1971 era?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul J Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 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. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Space Ranger Posted March 19, 2022 Share Posted March 19, 2022 (edited) See here: https://www.airliners.net/photo/USA-Army/Beech-U-8F-Seminole-65/2462086 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.

RidgeRunner Posted April 22, 2022 Share Posted April 22, 2022 Do you mean the Square tail version? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smudge Posted April 23, 2022 Share Posted April 23, 2022 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linescriber Posted May 19, 2022 Author Share Posted May 19, 2022 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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
