The Hueys are now finished, so I took the opportunity offered by a brief burst of summer to photograph them in the Vietnamese jungle which passes for my lawn.
I went for an early sixties look in overall drab with white lettering and a gloss finish. The glazing was painted in pale blue. They certainly match my image of Hueys of that era.
* or as some would have us believe "
chukka chukka chukka" But that's just wrong.
Nice work Tim, likes :)
