P-47 Camo question

[Wild Bill Kelso]

Hi, folks!

Zooming over from the FS9-forum, I hope you guys can help me:

I'm working on a repaint for the WoP/A2A P-47D-25 'LM-S' #226641 of 62nd FS, 56th FG.
As I know by now, the Bubble-tops of the 62nd were delivered unpainted and got their camo 'in the field'. It's also said that the 'RAF green' (dark green, as mentioned on http://www.simmerspaintshop.com/page-RGB-colors-UK.html) was overlaid on 'RAF light sea grey'.
Can anyone confirm this scheme?

That's what I've done up to now (I know, the olive drab needs to be replaced and the insignia and lettering should be pushed to the front).

Regards,
Markus.

Col. David Schilling, Flew several P47s. Although this is a different aircraft from the one you are doing, it might help with the colours.

Hi, jaycee!

Thanks for the profile!
In the meantime, I was able to retrieve some more pics of the real #226641, confirming the color and pattern.
This girl should be ready soon...

Cheers,
Markus.
