Anyone one have anything in USN or USMC colors, circa 1950s?

Thanks.

Oh man, I came to this Thread to see the pics of this helicopter! I feel robbed! [:I][:D][:o)]

I’ll keep watching to see what get posted. [;)]

Jeff, you tease…

Google search reveals a few, mostly B&W though.

Thanks Gino…

Here’s what I’ve found for all those who feel they’ve been cheated [:D]

It’s a 30 image slideshow on the bird.

I’ve got a walkaround of the aircraft you posted above and of another of a USMC HTL at the museum in Quantico. Not too many color pics I’ve seen from the period though. I’ve got lots of black and white. Not to sound like a smart butt but why do you need color - they are all gloss sea blue. Here is one of a HTL-3. I’ll look for more when I get home.

Thanks for the links guys. This is cool. I could pretty easily kitbash an OH 13 into one of these.

Hey Supercobra?
At the risk of sounding like a smart a%* myself, I don’t believe Jeff was asking for color PICTURES but rather pictures of helos in Navy or Marine COLORS. Much like a biker wearing his/her “colors”

I agree, but to see those “Colors”, it would be best if the pictures were in color.

I will have to agree with you on that, Gino.

Thanks for clearing that up guys. I did miss-read the question. I thought he was looking for color photos. If he is looking for Navy and Marine HTL “colors” (markings and schemes) I can help with that as I’ve got quite a few B&W photos that you can deduce “colors” from as well as some color walkarounds.

So to answer your question, yes, I’ve got a lot of UMSC and USN pictures of various HTL models but what I would still like to know is what specifically you are looking for. I’ve got a very slowly internet and limited email and it takes me several minutes to post each picture. I’m trying to be helpful but have limited resources. I can post a few to answer specific questions but would rather not post them all.
