At the end of December 1940, all carrier-based aircraft of US naval aviation were ordered to be painted Light Grey 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-Grey, whilst their lower areas would retain the Light Grey color.
This product would be a great fit for aviation enthusiasts who want a high-quality, interactive set featuring authentic third-generation aircraft colors used by the U.S. Navy and Marine Corps during World War II.
