I personally think the R-17 should have been restored to its original maroon color with the 2 tone blue/grey interior.

There is a photo of 6688 with its earlier coat of platinum mist and blue exposed as it was being stripped down for repainting.

I'd like to see the mid-60s bright red color with the great 60s TA logo affixed, as some R-17s had, at least during the summer of 1967. Alas, I have yet to find one picture of a 17 so adorned. I'm pretty sure I didn't imagine it, but who knows.

Actually, if I could find someone that makes HO scale TA stickers without charging an arm and a leg and several other body parts, I could make my own. :)

If you were able to find a good photo of the TA logo, one where the logo is completely vertical to the lens, with sharp detail; could you scan it, and reduce it, print it, and then cut the logo out to use?

I remember in the summer of 1968, I was working the old Tower B in CIYd and saw a freshly painted group of R-17s with the same TA logo as found on the R-36s. Although during my stay at CIY, I saw several other groups of R-17 similarly painted but only that first group had the TA logo.

Just because it was painted Red did not make it a Redbird. It never got a GOH.

That's a lighter shade of blue than what was actually applied in 1970.
