I think there are a lot of 1960's "jet style" C/L Stunter paint schemes that would fit these models very well. Dave Gierke's Novi's, Jim Kostecky's Formula S and Billy Werwage's USA-1, Gerry Phelp's Patriot (it's light blue so I dare say a very young flyer with great eyesight might be able to use this scheme!) have beautifully layed-out schemes that suit the long fuselaged, jet looking Classic Pattern jobs very well. David, that is what I thought of when I read your post and I'm going that direction with my T2A.
The Blue Angel scheme is pretty nice so inverting colors and going with a original scheme variation tack would be very appropriate too.
