Question C-64 Norseman in Cuban Air Force and Honduran Air Force

C-64 Norseman has caught my interest some time ago. My first thought was to do RAAF WWII version and probably I'll do it. But I really want to build Norseman in markings of Central American or Caribbean country. I think I'm more interested in Cuban version although Honduran one seems to be very interesting too.
There're not too many information about these planes. All I know is what we can find on wikipedia.

- Cuban Air Force received one aircraft in 1951
- Honduran Air Force operated two aircraft from 1945 to 1961

Pictures of the real planes would be the best thing but it may be extremely difficult to find them.

Having some knowledge about Cuban Air Force, I'm pretty sure that their C-64 Norseman had bare metal(was unpainted) and famous flag fin flash. I'm only not sure about type of roundels and numbers/serials on fuselage(if they were applied).

Honduran C-64 is a one big mystery to me.

I hope we can find some more informations, sources and pictures together. Cuban or Honduran Norseman would be included here(PacificWind's Recolors) in the nearest future.

I hope you can find the information, Kacper.

I look forward to seeing your Norseman. To my eye, it is a very good looking airplane. I hope to build Murph's version of the aircraft in which Glenn Miller was flying when he was lost (470285) in 1/48 . . . some day.

Good luck Kacper. Trying to find old photos of the more obscure users is extremely difficult. Even more so when they operated only one or two of a particular type.
I found this from recent experience trying to find pics of Chinese Ryan ST's. And they used 120 of them!

You can always do "what if" ,hypothetical livery.A lot of times I have to do some guessing with my recolors for same above mentioned reasons.
