Looking through my limited referances it seems that it was painted OD Green overall. Not the standard OD Green over neutral grey. The pics of the restored Barbie 3 are this way and the few period photos Ive seen, appear this way as well. Any help in this matter would be great. Thx
All of the black and white shots I’ve seen do indeed appear to suggest an overall OD paintjob on not just ‘Barbie III’, but most other 1st ACG B-25Hs as well. But close inspection of this photo reveals hints of gray undersurfaces on ‘Barbie III’. And it’s quite clear that ‘Dolly’ has an OD over gray scheme…

However, this shot leaves no doubt that ‘Barbie III’ did carry an OD over gray scheme…
