Grumman Barrel

[Dork the kit slayer]

Built and primed and already to go..........................but where.

Malta Gladiator scheme,Desert Gladiator scheme,Sea Gladiator scheme.?
Pirate ( but what colours?...black and red?)
Over all light pink ( from the handbag war)
Spanish civil war
Italian style Bi plane scheme,or horror of horrors USN "golden wings era" ( painting beautiful like box)??

You know I never do what Im told but its always interesting to hear what you guys think........................but please dont say Irish ,still smarting over the loss of those decals by the Royal Mail

[The Rat]

Over all light pink ( from the handbag war)

I vote for that one, if only to read the back story! 

[NARSES2]

Italian naval scheme with the red "sunburst" on the top wing

[Cliffy B]

What about a winter splinter camo scheme?!  Russian, Swedish, Swiss, Finnish, Norwegian?  Just some ideas.

I'll echo Rat's choice as well.  That backstory has so much potential 

[Weaver]

Spanish Civil War Republican. They had some 2-seat Grummans and apparently tried to get hold of some single-seaters, so it could be a real JMN-baiter.

[Radish]

The "Handbag War" has potential, but don't forget the sequins if you're doing a pink one. Not a lot of scope for weathering either....

I vote for:

Greek 1941
Vichy France in Indo-China
Tasmanian War of Independence
The War of Sylvia's Stockings

[dragon]

Go Anachronistic:
South East Asia
Alaskan Aggressor
USAF "Peanut"
Flanker Splinter

Of course, keep the cowling ring a single color so that the JMN's brains don't completely melt down (it is so hard to clean up without a wet/dry vaccuum cleaner).

[Cobra]

How about Pirate with a Scheme of Grey & White for Attacking from Mist or Heavy Cloud Cover with a Skull on the Wings?Dan

Could be both - re-write the history so that McClelland Barclay was a relative of the bankers, leading them to sponsor a warbird for a season covering some anniversary or other.....

The War of Sylvia's Stockings

The outcome always kept me in suspenders......................oooh you are awful

[Ian the Kiwi Herder]

Glossy sparkling post-war Air Race scheme with chromed cowl ring - I could spray that for you with Alclad - I have lots of 40's & 50's race-style sponsors stickers.

Vatican purple

Air Force of the Knights Templar at the time of the 4th Crusade.

Roman 9th Legion, based at Lincoln (Waddington), 60AD

As above but captured by Boediccia's (spell check ?) forces then flown against the Romans.

LaFayette Squadron complete with Indians head and French 'Spad' camouflage.

Ecuadorian/Gallapagos Air Wing 'tortoise-shell' style camo.

Flying Tigers

Back to you, bud.
