I'm building the Tamiya 1/48 scale Mosquito as a US Navy variant. Could you suggest the appropriate shade/brand of blue paint? Thank you.
Is this a "what if" build? Did the US Navy ever use Mosquitos? If you are doing a "tri color" scheme, it is Flat Sea Blue upper surfaces, Intermediate Blue side surfaces, and Insignia White lower surfaces. For an overall blue Mossie, Gloss Sea Blue is the stanrd color from late 1944 thru the mid 1950s. Testors Model Master, Humbrol, Gunze, Polly Scale, all make the appropriate colors in their lines.
F is for FIRE, That burns down the whole town!
U is for URANIUM... BOMBS!
N is for NO SURVIVORS...
- Plankton
LSM
No, no, no....
Light Gull Gray over White is my all time favorite for USN birds.
Something like this?

THis would appear to be a D-Day striped Mosquito painted in a reconaissance blue color, close to what was called "haze blue."
That's the one in Dayton, painted to look like a P.R. Mk. XVI which flew in the USAAF 1944- 1945.
Yeah, i knew it was like recon or something (target tug kept popping into my head but i knew that was wrong) I was just referring to the colour.
I knew I'd seen this plane somewhere before. Part of an amazing collection at the (former) Wright-Patterson Air Force Base. Thanks for the feedback, gentlemen. I'll be attempting to replicate the colour scheme on this baby.
Check out our collection of aircraft at The Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum. Sadly, our Mosquito was destroyed in a fire in the 70's. You can find our vintage fleet @ www.warplane.com.
Er, dont google "Haze Blue" without some sort of reference. I dont think ive seen that many drugs in one day before
Try Purple Haze next time ;-)
Purple haze all in my brain Lately things just don't seem the same Actin' funny, but I don't know why 'Scuse me while I kiss the sky
Love that song lol.

If that is it, then the scheme is overall PRU Blue, a RAF color, with an Insignia Red tail and the Black/White "Invasion" stripes. The red tail markings were to differentiate the Mossie from the similar looking Me-410.
i was about to say Pru Blue.
