Default Grunau Baby versus Eta?

Hi,

The links below are great! But my favorite paint scheme is this one.

1. Totally agree - old gliders are neat, have character, are usually
painted in neat colors...


These may have been on ras before but I think they're great:

Great! Last weekend we were looking at a glider trailer which needed
repainting and wondered about painting it as a canal boat with windows,
window boxes and geraniums. Then we thought about possible scenes in
the windows...

C'mon guys!!! We hit the pinnacle in WWII with the nose art on the
bombers! Now we have regressed to caricatures of penguins, goofy birds,
and pool cues!!!!????



Let's at least get back to some suggestive, scantily clad women on the
sides of our trailers and planes!

Cool! Note that it's the same glider as the Weiland Express, PH-314.

Hi,

I'm not going to name names, but I have seen some snapshots of some sexy artwork hidden on the INSIDE of the turtledeck of a 1-26. I must say, I'm in favor of nose art... at least on aircraft.
