Not a lot available to go from out there I am afraid. According to http://www.preservedaxisaircraft.com/ there is just 1, and it is in pretty bad shape, or at least was when recovered some years ago. Probably have to rely on vintage color pics and color samples of other type preserved aircraft.

Yes - there's a B5N2 preserved in 'unrestored' condition at the Wings Museum in Surrey, England.

There are also two B5N2s on Yap in the South Pacific. We're working to preserve them, too. Here are some photos:

Thank you for additional info! Images are great, I like one in post before this one, it show dark green similar to later dark green used on A6M.
