Re: Dutch colors
Ok.
Checked both Camouflage en Kentekens and Dutch Profile No. 8: Brewster B-339C/D/-23.
The Brewster (as were most KNIL aircraft) was painted in the following scheme:
Upper: oudblad / jongblad
Lower: aluminum laquer
Oudblad and Jongblad almost certainly correspond with respectively Dark Olive Drab No. 41 and Medium Green No 42 (or Dark Olive Drab No.31 and Dark Green No. 30, but that's a discussion about US colors).
The aluminum laquer appears to be pretty darkish compared to a true natural metal finish.
However the Curtiss Hawk H75A did have a true natural metal (aluminum) under surface.
