Hataka Hobby AS04.2 US Army Air Force Paint Set

Standard camouflage colours of USAAF planes between 1939 and 1945

Since mid-1941 USAAF adopted onto majority of its aircraft a standard camouflage scheme of Olive Drab No. 41(with blotches of the plane) over air superiority on ETO, use of camouflage by USAAF was officially abandoned, however due to various reasons it was still being applied by some of the plane manufacturers till the end of war. In such case new colours were predominantly used - ANA 613 Olive Drab(lighter shade) over ANA 603 Sea Grey (more blueish tint).
