Hi,would anyone be able to help out with the following: Im making a model of RAAF Catalina A24-39 which crashed in Port Stephens on 24 May 1943. The model will be donated to the local museum. I think the aircraft may have been from 3OTU at Rathmines. I need any information on a RAAF colour known as 'ocean blue' (prefer corresponding acrylic brand numbers if possible!). I have the camouflage scheme from Geoff Pentland's book - his book states colours as night undersurfaces, with ocean blue and extra dark sea grey camouflaged upper surfaces. Also squadron serial code letters for this aircraft if possible or where I might find that information. Finally, the size (diameter) of the roundels on RAAF Cats at that time. As far as I know there are no sets of RAAF catalina decals, so will use closest corresponding sets available. Not asking for much am I? Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. The kit is 1:72 scale as I wasn't able to find a PBY-5 in 1:48. Cheers.
