Starting to throw some paint at this one, and ran into a snag. All the museums have the 'pits in different colors. Black, (Smithsonian), zinc chromate, (Pensacola NNAM, and a really yellow one at that!), bronze green, (Panama)....
I checked the Navy specs and they call for bronze green in the pits for that year, but Observer aircraft in aluminum paint. The Navsourse picts are in B/W but are clearly not aluminum, dark green or possibly black.
What do you guys think?
 
Green Zinc Cromate.... I remember the one I saw at Key West in the early 50's. It was original, and in the green zinc cromate.

Just my .02 cents worth...

Good enough for me, I had an idea that the official USN museum would have the right color, and your personal experience seals the deal, Thanks!
 
Other than a U-47 cutaway, I have never attempted one...It's a thought, though...
They designed this one to have the wings trapped between the fuselage halves, but for some reason I was thinking I had to do it different. In retrospect, I could have followed the instructions.
Oh, well...Might do another someday...

 
Looking very nice. But I'm not sure if the interior of the gunner section wsa of black colour. Interesting...
