Hellcat prop hub color...


Recommended Posts

I noticed that most pictures of hellcats during the war show the prop hub painted the same blue as the aircraft.

Were all hellcat prop hubs painted blue or was it done at the squadron level only?

I am doing a plane from F6F-5, VF-46 (1945) and Superscale says that the front/forward portion of the hub was painted blue, but not the whole hub.

Should I paint the whole hub blue, or just the front part? Was this standard operating procedure on navy planes in 1945?
