Thanks Paul for the info.So the later issued profile ( the first one you sent) can be much more correct with these colours I think.

Also I think if DBII mix all of these colours he will get the correct one.

Its possible its correct. I really dont know much on this campaign to be honest. To me the first one seems off. Im not sure why but as I said I have some color blindness also on certain colors.

I was a finalist to get into flight school for the Marines. Not only did I fail the flight physical beacuse I was color blind, the only colors I passed was the red and green. The colors that everyone misses. I failed 3 different test.

But I am much better now.

Coral brown was Corps of Engr Sand Brown #3. I found the FS number. The desert pink was actually a brown but the sun turned the yellow pigments into pink. A group of desert pink B-24 were deverted to the Pacific and called the pink elephants.

Phnix Island 1943

Remember reading a pilots biography who was stationed a short while in the Phoenix islands in P-39's out of Panama, he mentions the special paint jobs. Can't remember what book or pilot it was though........
