RE: Bootlegger?
The third picture in my post above is one of Steve's most common schemes. I don't know how many Bootleggers he personally had. The first one I saw when the kit was initially launched used the same design as shown above, but with bright yellow as the base color, dark blue where the red is in my photo, and red as the minor striping color. That was a very pretty combo! All of Steve's Bootleggers that I saw or saw photos of seemed to use that same basic trim outline/design. His planes always had beautiful painted finishes.
