P-39 figure

I just got an FOV P-39 Airacobra, and I really like the model. The standing figure that came with the plane has a rather strange hat on. The hat looks nice, but the top of it is painted orange. I know that is not right. Can anyone tell me how this hat should be painted?

So he won't be mistaken for a deer?

Blaze orange is a must on the tarmac during deer season!

and the deep woods during poaching periods.

The 30mm cannon works great on moose.

Skis on the plane and you can land, dress it, attach it to the bomb racks and be home for dinner.

But I thought that the p-39 had a 37mm cannon. Possibly too large for a moose by 7mm.

My guess would be Olive drab with a black bill and gold for the badge(s).

Oh yeah, 37mm. No need to dress it, just pick up the chunks.
