Martlet Mk. I

The odd colors used in this build reflect the paint scheme used by Grumman for delivery of the first Martlets.

"The fuselage had been stripped at some point prior to 1964, but the Fleet Air Arm Museum team were able to locate tiny fragments of the original paint adhering to the panel joins and rivets allowing the conservators to ‘map’ the original camouflage plan. Indestructible Paints of Birmingham was commissioned to recreate the original colours, and the fuselage has consequently been repainted as closely to the original pattern as humanly possible."
