Interesting to note in that picture Stik, the interior primer on the sill of the cockpit. Obviously they had the canopy closed when painting the exterior

That is a great photo, Stik! Great color photo reference for the rear gunner! Who knew!? Thank you!Stikpusher wrote: ↑Thu Mar 02, 2023 10:20 pm Here’s a great photo of WWII USN aircrew. The gunners, being enlisted, usually wore their dungarees as flight clothing. Blue denim pants and light blue chambray shirt. Both usually wore warm weather khaki cloth flight helmets in the PTO

That hook and tailwheel look like you could break either one off handling that thing while painting.
