Corsair color

Humbrol makes a gloss sea blue, if that is what is available to you. They used to make a flat. I still have a tin. After you decal,spray it with a flat for a proper finish.

Nice shot of Ike's A/C Butz. One of Blackburn's S.O.Bees (Later the Jolly rogers) of VF-17.

Thanks guys it helped a lot :)

Here's a couple of diagrams that may help, this ovbiously ain't a Corsair but it does show the basic scheme you're after and, more importantly, it gives the FS color equivs:





Both of these show the same scheme, but the early scheme uses matte (flat) colors (prefix of 3 in color# 35189) and the later scheme uses gloss colors. (prefix of 1 in color 15189)

Obviously the scheme as applied to the Avenger would be a bit different than that applied to a Corsair, also just ignore the color on the tail.


Fade to Black...

Hey dancar,
This what I found for the colors,
FS 35042-Flat Sea Blue(same color as Drk Sea Blue)
FS 35164-Intermediate Blue and of course..
FS 37875 Flat White
Remember due to weathering and all around everyday use the colors will vary on each a/c.
Hope this helps ya a bit.
Flaps up, Mike

Check out www.IPMSStockholm.org. They have a manufacturer/color cross-reference.

The tri color scheme is dark sea blue, intermediate blue and the botom is white. Don't have any charts with me to match the different companies colors.
