USN paint colors - Aircraft

You might try the aircraft section....

What time period specificly? Late WWII USN aircraft will be either still left in a tri color scheme, or, depending upon time period and build (fall '44 onwards), overall Dark Sea Blue.

197 was a training squadron that was initiated in 12/44. There's a fair number of pics online that seem to point to o/a dark sea blue. Must be the Matchbox kit.? Cobra Co. makes the killer upgrade set, has everything.

here is a link to the "kit"
