Thanks Joe, some tremendous photos there and very helpful too. Looks like I'll be replicating some kind of dope/adhesive residue then!
Everything I read about the dark sea blue colour seems to confirm that it was a very tough and resilient finish designed for aircraft operating at sea and in other tough conditions, so I think other signs of wear and tear will be fairly minimal. I can't imagine that aircraft based on a US carrier wouldn't have had damage fairly rapidly repaired. I suppose one advantage of painting aircraft in one overall colour is that this becomes a much simpler proposition.
Cheers
Steve
