Echoing a question in my build thread: How sure are we about the colour scheme of the Spit Vb on floats. Any data/opinions to support PM's idea of green/grey over yellow?

[lancfan]

The grey and green were the colours that the spitfire was painted in before the floats were fitted, there would not be any reason to repaint it and the yellow undersides was a standard wartime finish for prototypes in addition to trainers.
