Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: paint colorHey, thanks Michael! That's what I wanted to know. Also, I found anotherphoto of this particular Piet in Richards new FANTASTIC website! It wastitled "Sparky", but still don't know much else about it. I think Iremember seeing a O.D. and yellow Piet there also, and what I liked about itwas that it had wire wheels (which may not look that "authenic" with theblue and yellow).Looks like you guys in Kansas and on up through the North East are gettinghit hard today with the weather.Thanks Again,Robert Hensarlinghttp://www.mesquite-furniture.comrhrocker(at)admin.hilconet.comUvalde, Texas>Hi Robert!>>I knew all my Flying Aces scale info would work to build a better Piet! >>The blue/yellow colors were in effect by 1934-35 -- before that they were>O.D./ yellow.

Hi List. If you click on this site,http://users.aol.com/bpanews/www.htmlthere is a Piet in the upper photo on the left-hand side, that is Army AirCorps blue and yellow. Does anyone know of other photos of this Piet?Also, does anyone on the list happen to know the approximate year this colorscheme started being used by the AAC? I'm thinking it was in the 30'ssometime, but thought maybe someone may know more about this. I'mconsidering painting my GN-1 to this scheme, since it'll be hangered in theold military hanger at Garner Field, here in Uvalde. There's a PT 17 therealso, with the same color scheme.Looks like the list is back to normal!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Robert Hensarlinghttp://www.mesquite-furniture.comrhrocker(at)admin.hilconet.comUvalde, Texas________________________________________________________________________________

Richard!Make up some light fiberglass wheel covers (with a slight dome like a setof "laker disks" ) for that "golden age" wheel look over the spoke wheels!;-)No rough weather here -- just a real healthy 40 mph west wind after thefront went thru -- any one want to try hovering in thier Piet??that other Mike C.PP, KS
