None of the Navions currently depicted appear to match the original Navions (which constituted the bulk of production), and none appear to match the early civilian models, with their multiple side windows and two-piece windshields in the sliding canopy, and no tip tanks. Of course, this is a problem of Navions, generally, as most have been modified in some way or another, and an extraordinary percentage of Navion owners want to paint their planes in military markings. But surely someone, somewhere, has a photo of an original, bare-metal, old-style canopy, civilian-looking Navion (or at least a similarly original military model). That should be the first photo, if this is to be a realistic representation of the Navion, historically. ~ Zxtxtxz (talk) 05:16, 22 April 2026 (UTC)Reply
