Re: Seaplane Camouflage

It appears that between 1933 and 1935 Maritime aircraft were in the 02 color, then switched to the grayer 63. The 72/73 sheme was adopted in 1938 and slowly implemented in 1939. Repainting must have taken some time, as, if I rember correctly, some seaplanes used for rescue in the Battle of Britain still were in the 63 color.
