Thanks for the interesting info, your timing is perfect. I'm currently resorting a Perigee that I recently aquired and I was debating over the colors as I want to be as close to the original as possible. Now I have an "eyewitness" as to what the colors are, I can forge ahead! I had a feeling that the light color was light blue as the model in the AMA museum appears to be light blue.

I'm sure you've seen this picture of Tom's original Perigee. The folks at the museum wouldn't let me touch it, but they gave me a ladder to climb up to get pictures from different angles. I later went in and eliminated all the distracting "stuff" in the background.

I took the pictures partly because I knew that eventually would want to reproduce the original as closely as possible. I now have a kit, now all I need is the time to build it. This winter is devoted to restoring Ed Kazmirski's Taurus II, and the "Unfinished fuselage" I got from his estate. I had a partner for the T-II, and we have been working together, (from a distance) to re-outfit the plane with the right wheels/engine etc.

I'd be happy to supply you with all the other Perigee pictures I took from the floor and from the ladder to help you get that faithful reproduction you want. The colors on the plane look pretty accurate, and you'll notice they are exactly like the TBX-1.
