So....Is your name Johnston?....or did you serve aboard her?
About the green color........in the mid-eighties when I was into this hobby heavily, I learned (from the LHS or FSM?) to mix the color for 2-3 planes I wanted to build. Partly because I always thought the Ranger was largely overlooked in WWII literature.
This tough to recall exactly.....but using Testor's enamel, it involved using their regular Green paint, Light Green paint and White paint.
A small amount of White was mixed with a larger amount (I believe it was a 10% mixture of white) of the Light Green.....which considerably lightened that paint.....
Then adding and mixing drops of Regular Green darkening the mix bit-by-bit to the desired color. A lot of brush testing on a sheet of styreen was required to actually 'see' the color. Things look darker in the bottle.
I was using the S/S Navy Air Colors pub as a guide.....hoping their printed color was correct. I was very naive!
All that is a lot of work......nowadays I would use a slightly brightened Regular Green.....I'm not as fastidious as I once was. But I understand your question.
