What is the correct paint scheme for this

[mike3121]

What was the correct paint scheme for a Post WW 1 US Army fighter, an MB-3A. Probably in use from 1919 thru 1925. I seen some planes from that era with "bright yellow wings". I can't believe they did that. I'd appreciate some help in that matter. I've animated the prop but it doesn't show in this photo.

I know little to nothing about this one but after looking at the photos, I'd say it's still in the over-all British PC-10 color, basically and olive drab kind of thing.
Interesting subject though





This one looks like it might have yellow wings and a gray (?) cowling? The rest is probably PC10


And a few paintings, for what they're worth-


I'd put my money on that last painting being correct based on my assumption.
For the color PC-10, look here-
World War I colour charts?
Some of the photos are gone but I don't know which ones they were
Maybe this is one?

That's a real piece of PC10 fabric I have with several color matches called out by a number of sources.
I believe that there's a pretty good chance the US might have been using British red and blue (VR2 & VB3) for the markings too.
The best place to ask is here-
The Aerodrome

Thanks for all of the information. All I could come up with was FS34087 for the upper surfaces, clear dope finish on most else. I take clear dope to mean a pale yellow. I used the technical drawings from the book "Scale Aircraft Drawings, Vol I, WW I." It's to be animated so I had to keep the polygon count down. It's not one of those near perfect right down to the last nut & bolt aircraft like you see foresale at Turbo Squid.
