Default Federal color standards

The federal color standards were based on WW II colors.
Testors camo model paints were based on these colors.
My MK I carrier still has some original paint on the front plates and its a match for FS 34087 olive drab.

Paints back then were in a nitro celuose based laquer. Any good paint shop should be able to mix a WW II colour in an enamel as long as you have a sample.
