kleurenschema Nederlandse Sea Fury?

[ron van sommeren]

Een mailtje van een RCGroups gebruiker ... Als jullie zo veel mogelijk in het Engels antwoorden, kan ik Tex naar dit draadje verwijzen.

Ron: I'm building another TopFlite Sea Fury and am considering this one. Would you have any idea whether the scheme is authentic. It sure is nice and simple.

Thanks for your time, Tex Gehman, Winnipeg. [Sabrejock]

I don't think this Sea Fury is original Dutch Navy. It has a British registration: G-CBEL. The first thing that raised my doubt is that the orange dot in the cocard is far to small ... the cocard is not original.
When you Google "G-CBEL" you will find more information, history and photos of this Sea Fury:
"G-CBEL" - Google Image Search
"G-CBEL" - Google Search

"Op 18 april 1957 werd de Sea Fury in Nederland uit dienst genomen. Eén van deze kisten, de FB.Mk 51, F-43 c/n 6310, is bewaard gebleven en is te vinden in het Luchtmachtmuseum, Kamp Zeist."

Translation:
April 18 1957 the Sea Fury was withdrawn from service in The Netherlands. One of these aircraft, FB.Mk 51, F-43 c/n 6310, has been kept in the Military Aviation Museum.

This is the Sea Fury from the Military Aviation Museum, photographed in the exposition of the previous owner Aviodrome.

It is possible that this scheme is authentic. The dark blue is used for late war and post war MLD aircraft.

The most common colours are the Dark Sea Grey FED-STD-595 Federal Standard 595 Color FS 36099 and the Light Green FED-STD-595 Federal Standard 595 Color FS 34424 as mentioned by Henri. The to small orange dot makes authenticity of the picture discussable...

The first two photos on this page is G-CBEL in the nineties.

The Dutch cocard has also been combined with the RAF red-white-blue on the fin ... certainly not authentic to say the least.

And now it is flown with Australian cocards ... it's a show bird.

And there you can read:

Camouflage and markings RNethNavy Sea Fury
RNethNavy Sea Furys were camouflaged in Extra Dark Sea Grey FS16099 on upper surfaces fuselage and wings. And Sky FS24424 on lower surfaces fuselage and wings, in Pattern no.1 or no.2. Both in Type S (Smooth). Roundels in six positions, flag on both sides tail. Registrations in white on Pattern No.1. In black on Pattern No.2.
The J=Jager 10the letter of the alfabet, the F=Fighter 6the letter of the alfabet. Aircraft numerals in two or three positions on nose. Also on some aircraft in very small numerals on wheeldoors. Squadroncolours painted on spinners, Orange for 860, White for no. 3 Squadron. In Pattern No.1 no Sqn colours on spinners.
Inside wheeldoors and wheelbays in Pattern No.1 : Sky. Inside wheeldoors and wheelbays in Pattern No.2 : Gloss White. Propellers are black with 4 inch yellow tips.

From which you can draw the conclusion G-CBEL's 'Dutch' scheme is not authentic.

And I never seen the marking "NAVY" at an dutch (MLD) plane...
Some Sea-Fury's used by a demo-team (I didn't know the name) having the cowl painted in orange.
