BillS Posted November 27, 2019 Share Posted November 27, 2019 I ordered mine 2 days ago from sophii on Ebay. I guess that’s Kitty Hawk. Anyway it just hit the doorstep in Dallas. So as to be efficient and not crowd the discussion group with too much FJ prattle, I want to broach the topic of cockpit color. Several years ago Aerojet did a CD on the Fury and part of it was devoted to an old Navy training film on the 2. It was probably shot in a studio using a mock up. The color of the cockpit appears to be a color sort of like RAF interior green. In searching the web I found images of the USS Hornet museum’s restoration jet. Guess what? The same green. Let the fur fly. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

TheRealMrEd Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 I think it is the legendary "North American Green", which seems to be a little more blue than Bronze Green, and lighter than Dark Green. N.A. seems to go off on their own way with this color! Ed Quote Link to post Share on other sites
