Another beauty. This is the scheme I would like to do next.
...Although the clarity seen here is the best I've managed to find.

I'm looking for better legible side shots. Mainly the wordings on the tail.

If anyone can direct me to some decent shots I'd be appreciative, as I'm getting burned out searching for anymore photos than what I have already.

Hi Stiz,

I thank you.

I have those already. And the rest that are easily found while doing a Google search. Usual places.
.... I think I will have to find someone with a secret stash where the pictures are from a trip. No description labeling it as that particular plane. More like a generic labeled photo.
Along my searching endeavors I'm amazed at the things I've managed to find. But this one and a couple others, tough to find.

Maybe you should contact photographers who have uploaded those 2 pics in a.net. Maybe they have more pics.

By the way. Can you paint this sometime? http://www.airliners.net/photo/Pitts-S-1...-Special/0653745/L/

I will paint for you. When things slow a little for me. I will save the pictures.
...I would like to paint the scheme (as in real world) the best possible. So any good close-up pictures you can find will be of great help.
