Hi, all!
As we know in WWII many US manufactures used own interior green
which was differences in shadow from during with mid-war standard ANA ( ANA 611 interior green),
"mysterious Bell interior green", "Curtis interior green" e.t.c
whether the practice of using one's own original colors on experimental, pre-production aircraft of US aircraft firms continued or after the IIWW everything was painted in ANA 611 standard?
As examples:
- interior green in cocpit Curtis XF-87 Nighthawk was "Curtis interior green" or "Interior green ANA 611/ late FS34151";
- Convair XF-92 Dart was own "Convair interior green" or standard "Interior green ANA 611/ late FS34151";
- Bell XP-83 was in "Bell interior green" or standard "Interior green ANA 611/ late FS34151"
e.t.c.
Why the question?
I painted cockpit XF-87 in "Interior green ANA 611/ late FS34151"
but now I doubt maybe cockpit XF-87 was "Curtis interior green"?
