I have also been looking at paint schemes for my Cub and I keep going back to the one shown below. The scheme shown is on a PA-12 Super Cruiser and is based on the first light personal aircraft to circle the globe, from August 9th to December 10th, 1947. The original is also shows with the flags on the sides but I think I like the one with the tan colored elevators. However, I do like the shades of red and tan on the original aircraft. The originals, two pilots and planes made the trip, are now in the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum and in the Piper Museum in Lock Haven, PA. Plenty of time to make up my mind before I get to the painting stage.
