It is just Fab to see such a pretty--hansome you name it airplane as yours posted here -back in the day I went through a (self taught) crash course learning to fly primitive single channel rudder only on Carl Goldberg 1/2 A Skylanes of which I built numerious until finally building a sucessful one,all were painted in factory schemes as observed at the airport many a week end back in the 1960-70s.

Well any who after seeing your SCALE 182 project and others here I'm thinking of a Top Flite Skylane done up as a 1965 or 1966 or 1967 scheme or
