Hi Jan,

Here are some quick ones to get you drooling to start your model. I will have to scan some tomorrow as they are actually pictures where I took these with a digital camera.

Only need the real thing now!
As this is the only pic that I've seen of a Yorktown Duck, what colours did they wear, those Pre-war ones or?

They look like pre war colors to me but not for sure. Interesting picture though. Will have to do some digging and see if I can find more pictures.

Cheers Paul! Those pre-war colours are classy! 8)

Just found this picture. Little hard to see but you can read Yorktown on the side of the aircraft.

Excellent material Paul, and they used one in a Black Sheep episode to. Can't remember what episode it was though.

 

[vikingBerserker]

Wow, I had no idea the colors were specific to the Carrier.

I had no idea the Yorktown had Ducks assigned to it?????
I was on CVS10 in the 60's, HS-4. I've got the aircraft type and sqn list for both 5 and 10, I'll post what I have for you to see if we both have what each is after. My mission is to build a 72nd scale of each of the types both had on board.

But, a Duck???

[Micdrow]

[Lucky13]
