REQUEST - searching pics or infos about s/n 53-1777

Post by Coyotte » Sat Sep 10, 2016 3:47 pm

Hello !

I'm working on a virtual project, about BENDIX TROPHY.
In 1955, winner was Col. Carlos Talbott, with a F-100C s/n 53-1777, based on Foster Air Force Base (Texas).
In this period, Talbott was commander of the 322d Fighter Day Group (but I'm not sure the record aircraft come from his group).

I want to do this repaint for the Milviz Hun, even if it is a different model.
But it's very difficult to find informations, especially scheme (look for pictures below), colors, or others details (insigns, i.e.).

I find various informations like Sq. color code : 450 FDS was red, 451 yellow and 452 was green.
[update]I think 777 was in 452, 'cause insign in first below picture is the same...

I find also somes (very rares) b&w pics...
For example, like you can see, nose was not the same on below pics. Same problem with the front strip.

So, If anybody can give me information about this Hun, it will be very appreciated !
