[4./JG53_Badger]

Stansdds is right! The U.S. Navy and Marines wanted the colors of the Droptanks to match....The early version of the F6F had the 2 or 3 color paint scheme along with the lighter colored drop tank, but in the later versions the paint schemes matched including the drop tanks. Here's some other pics that I found from other sites, including another sim..FS2004....Enjoy!
