Scratch Built McDonnell XP-67 by edtherenderman. Viewed 296 times. Build Thread Next Prev Click image to return. Image Comments edtherenderman 28-Feb-21 20:13 Picked up work on the XP-67 this weekend. Painted the top with OD Green, with dark green along the edges. This was a common camouflage technique at the time. The OD Green is not represented well in these pictures, but is supposed to meet the official OD green spec. When researching this color, it became apparent that none of the paint companies have a good representation of the OD Green that was used in WWII. It also doesn’t help that the USAAF changed the color mix in 1943, but many manufactures used whatever paint they had in stock! Plus, planes were repainted when they were repaired or upgraded. So…I’m taking the “choose the color you like” method. bsadonkill 28-Feb-21 22:22 Well it looks good, smooth finish. Was this the first plane for McDonnell? edtherenderman 01-Mar-21 08:03 I've not done a lot of research on McDonnell company, but according to wikipedia, they were primarily a parts manufacturer until this point. This was their first attempt at an aircraft of their own. biplane guy 01-Mar-21 08:43 I feel your pain when it comes to matching colors. The blue I'm trying to duplicate for the WACO is nearly impossible to find at a price I'm willing to pay. The color is identical to Toyota's 8X7 Electric Storm Blue which is available in an aerosol touch-up paint for around $40.00. I've already spent nearly that on a variety of blues that all looked good until they dried. BriandKilby 01-Mar-21 09:49 when was the plane manufactured? Please sign in to comment on this image.
