If any of you have any original CT Yankees, post some pics, I'd love to see them!

I recently aquired a small quantity of original Connecticut Yankee blanks. I'm told these blanks are 40 plus years old. I'm going to use vintage paint schemes on these blanks.
The bodies are just under 6.5" long

So here's a before and after.

Many thanks to JHABS for setting me up with the blanks, lips and hardware :cheers:

Bernzy,
They are 100 % original paint.
The gold tail's was done by Kriss himself. I forgot the story behind the gold!

The one's Hab's gave you have glass eyes and are mint, but never made it on the market, "proto types" would be a guess.

They also made several other models and used some strange neon green and bright colors on them.
