UPdated to This green looks OK now

I wanted to get away from the usual red spinner, but looking at this green it just seems wrong.
Your opinions gentle folk?

Blue always works.  If you want something off the wall you could use a base coat of fluorescent pink with  fluorescent orange and yellow stripes/polka dots

And your point is ---------

I've read though that this might not be the exact colours as there's only B&W photos of the original real thing (so I read), there's colour photos of a restoration job which got painted like this

Maybe try a deeper shade of green, some version of British Racing Green maybe?

I have seen a couple of real world green painted spinners. Personally I think it looks ok

[Cliffy B]

Aircraft assigned to the USS Yorktown (CV-10) had their spinners painted a similar shade of green for a time during the war.  No idea what shade though.  Was "Willow Green" still being used?

[NARSES2]

Thats the one I remembered Cliffy...thanks 

[Taiidantomcat]

I like it but I would add the same color somewhere else on the aircraft too, like the tailfin tip, or a part of the leading edge

And one of the pre-war USMC Dauntless squadrons had similar green prop hub & wing chevrons

[Radish]

I think it looks good.
I've used bright glossy green a few times....especially after seeing it on a friend's Fw-190D.

A collective thanks to all for your input. As its the same "Kelly" green as my Irish sabre(for those with very long memories) Ill be going down that well trodden path.........besides I really cant be A**ed getting out the Fairy Powerspray

[Mossie]

Maybe just weather it a bit to take the overall brightness off, fade it, matt it up, put a few scratches in etc?

Heres this weeks update..........................er well it would have been but Ive had a setback with the markings.

A well known visiter to our whiffy shores didnt come up with the goodies.

However said miscreant bought my lunch and a few pints as a bribe not to mention his name .

So a deals a deal  ................................thanks for lunch Ian..................ooops.

looks ok, i to got kinda sick from the red spinners to, so i painted a few Yellow, really does the trick 
nice looking corsair, would look nice in a yellow spinner and Independant state of Croatia air force markings

From one disaster to another

I decided to go with the "Kelly green" and my old modelling mate posted me a whole bunch of "Irish" markings to complete the project.
Bloody UK postal service has lost the letter!!!. Hell its only 6 mile away.
So here's the latest( well as far as Ive got)

Ive just got a complete mental block as to alternative markings.  Perhaps a silly afternoon in the pub will help.
