What in the wild world of sports is that green color on the 24? Does not come close to any OD I have ever seen. Cool job on rebuilding that bird.What a mess it was.

I actually have seen a few pics of some early B-24's with that scheme on it. I don't remember the name of the color, but I saw it explained in a model magazine.

Someone gets a huge "ATTA BOY/GIRL/WHATEVER" for having the idea of showing the B-24 being built as it's being restored! The average person can enjoy the airframe as a whole, but be given a glimpse into whats under the metal and paint!
Maybe they should just stop where they are and leave it a perpetual 'work in progress' :lol:

....just had an additional thought- pipe in the sounds of electric drills (thats what was normal in WW2) and riveting along with ratchets and other tool noises-

That is a GREAT idea!
