Correct colors

Hello,
In a attempt to follow the instructions that my IA gave me on finishing my metal parts, I have been on the hunt for historical info on paint, because my local paint supplier doesn't have historical info that goes back to 1944, no surprise! I have a note out to dupont,
anyone have any thoughts? See the link below to see what I'm looking at....
Thanks in advance,
Fred

Wakefields book has good info (The Fighting Grasshoppers) on page 151.
The Erection and Maintenance Instructions for the L-4s just says "shade 41, olive-drab" AAf spec no. 14106 on the upper and side surfaces. "shade 43, neutral grey" AAF spec no. 14106 on lower surfaces.
Take a trip over to OKC and the artillery museum and you can see one exactly as it was when they took it out of the crate.

Freddy,

I had to mix my own to approximate #34087. Email me and I can give you the recipe. It's really simple to do and I have received nothing but compliments for having the "Real" color from veteran pilots.

If you go back to the discussion about radios in L-4s you can see a good representation of what it will look like.
