My pleasure.
Damian Radice did a couple of lovely F9F Armada paints for the AH model. He might be a good reference - I was hard pressed to find much in full colour for them. There are a couple of dark bluue gate guards, but I don't think that scheme was used operationally, or very much at least.
Good luck ...
I wonder how many other navies considered this plane but oped against it. If Canada had got it's act together and not dithered for so long getting into jet carrier aircraft, it could have been at least as good a plane, if a bit shorter legged, than the Banshee. Maybe it was also the second engine capability that the latter offered. RAAN and RNZN forces might also have considered it too, for that matter... who knows
