Does 21C even publish paint codes for their models?? I'm not saying they don't, but I've never seen them published anywhere that I can remember. There are a bewildering array of paint codes and charts available for kit builders depending on the model and/or paint manufacturer, and the subject is probably just as confusing as model scales, maybe even more so.

I am looking for acrylic paint codes that are close enough to what 21st uses.

I also wanted to know what the US navy painted on that dark blue/black Avengers” Flight 19’ , where the flaps painted white or zinc green. And also what color where the landing gear bays painted?

I found this
In common with the general Navy practice the wheel bays, undercarriage legs, wheel hubs, landing flap bays, etc. were all finished in the lower surface colour throughout the Avenger production.
but need more information.
