The paint schemes depicted are correct as far as I can remember. I just don't recall the actual color/code ID of the 'brown' paint that is used as the primary color for this aircraft. Kinda looks like a metallic 'root beer'! Beautiful aircraft though.

I'm sorry but aren't those the colors applied by Fornof? Wouldn't this be the original "house" colors?

I just recently heard from another source of Grumman expertise regarding Gooses and Widgeons that yes, "red & black" was Leroy Grumman's official in-house color scheme for all company aircraft.

Where is this aircraft now? Is this the one under restoration at POF?

Now grounded at the Palm Springs museum, owned by the Pond Family and painted as a military F8F with nose art 'Bob's Bear'.
