Bernard,
I've included a photo of my re-makes of Mark II's in the case I carry them in. All of these color patterns I got from photos I've seen. One is modeled from the Museum that you posted a picture of. (The crayon sharpener nose was painted white, the sharpener never came in white. Bill Stine told me it was painted.)
The other photo I've included shows a photo that is from a thread here on the forum of a news reporter that visited Orville's wife and daughter and took a photo.
All the other patterns I got from the Quest Museum web page. The front page says "collection of B&W pictures" but, they are in early color.

You have to look carefully at all the photos to find the different variations. The short movie that you can download has a Mark II taking off from a launch pad as well. (at 2:35 into the clip) Though, I couldn't get the link to work tonight but, I have it saved in my Ipod movies.

I have been biten by the early Mark II bug and I can't get enough. I wish I could find some more early photos as well. I keep hoping that Bill Stine will add more to the Quest Museum. He surely has some more historical stuff. I will try and post some "not really important but, cool" stuff about the crayon sharpeners when I get some other photos taken.
Hope this helps. |
