AK Interactive AK-2230 Acrylic Paint Set - WWII US Navy & USMC Aircraft Colours (6 x 17ml)
At the end of December 1940, all carrier-based type aircraft of Naval aviation
were ordered to be painted Light Gray overall. In August 1941, it was
decided that the upper surfaces of carrier-based aircraft belonging to the
Battle Force of the Pacific Fleet should be painted in Blue-Gray, whilst their
lower areas would retain the Light Gray colour. In the coming months,
more aircraft were gradually ordered to be painted in this scheme. The
case was clarified in February 1942, when all fleet and shore-based aircraft
were ordered to be painted in Blue-Gray/Light Gray scheme. In January
1943, a new tri-colour camouflage scheme for carrier-based aircraft was
introduced, this consisting of Sea Blue, Intermediate Blue and Insignia
White colours. The painting scheme for fighter aircraft was simplified to
Dark Sea Blue overall in mid-March 1944. This order was expanded to
include all carrier-based aircraft in June 1944, and would remain valid until
the mid-1950s.
