Hey guys
Been working on all the little things and getting started on the Pitts etc. While working on it last night I started wondering what a Pitts would look like if I tried to make it look like a vintage Waco. I'm so incredibly far away from that point in the project but I couldn't help but wonder.
Has anyone done this? Pitts are usually all one color but I wonder if it would look good in dark green with silver wings or dark blue and cream wings with a wrap around cream stripe on the tail feathers. A vintage windshield like on a Stearman or Waco would help but what about the engine cowl? Not sure If I could make that look vintage because I want to stick with a Lycoming.
The landing gear could get a little treatment and look pretty good as well.
I know the Starduster one has been dolled out to look vintage. I think I once saw a photo of one that was silver with yellow wing that looked pretty good.
Any thoughts? A pitts has a pretty unique look so it might look pretty bad.
