I've got the Freemans Mighty Eighth War Manual and I can't find anything on Chief Wapello.  I'll keep looking though.

Another progress update.

I have mostly everything colored. Have the  tail fins, 70% of the fuselage, and wings with detail. Insignias are in place, including noseart.

Not done yet is weathering, the other 30% of the fuselage detail, the tail itself detail.

Greebo, I hope you don't mind if I continue working on this one too ;-). I am enjoying it.
I'm not sure how accurate my coloration for Wapello is either. I based my coloration on a painting of the Chief, found at this webpage
http://www.donaldheald.com/prints/prints_list.php?cat=Native%20Americans&aut=&wrk=&sortfield=&pg=3

He's in the middle of the screen, third row down. I know it says Wa-Pel-La, but I found 3 other webpages with a black and white print of this calling it Chief Wapello (I wish I could remember the links.

Anyway, here's my progress shots so far. As always, recommendations/suggestions are welcome.
