Hataka BS05.2 Late US Navy Blue Line Acrylic Paint Set

Hataka BS05.2 Late US Navy Blue Line Acrylic Paint Set Description

Standard camouflage colours of US Navy planes from 1943 till 1945

One of the most effective camouflage schemes of WW2 - US naval aviation "tri-colour camouflage" - was introduced in January 1943 and consisted of Semi-Gloss Sea Blue, NS Intermediate Blue and NS Insignia White (with blended borders between colours).

In mid-1944 it was replaced on all carrier-based aircraft by overall Glossy Sea Blue livery, which was simply more practical in terms of maintenance.

As far as the Atlantic Theatre of Operations is concerned - dedicated ASW variants (I & II) of the "tri-colour camouflage" were officially introduced only in June 1944 (probably in use much earlier).
