This rebuild of the stock CFS3 Landing Ship Tank (LST) to be LST-906. LST-906 was converted was into a makeshift aircraft carrier with a custom-built airstrip above deck. She was the base for six USAAF L-4B "Grasshoppers" flown as artillery spotters for the US 3rd Infantry Division during the invasion of southern France in September 1944.
From what I can tell LST-906 was a blue hull and gray upper paint. The makeshift flight deck looks to have been painted blue and LST-906 seems to have had pair of NL pontoons on each side as well. Of note is that it looks like LST-906 also may of had sister, LST-525 with the same makeshift flight deck and pontoons but LST-525 seems to be all gray paint as documented by the Piper Aviation Museum.
