Hi everyone...I'm doing the P-80A as the Grey Ghost and the LuLu Belle
prototypes from 1944. Can anyone suggest the best, most accurate
colors to use?

Look here, it might help.

There are some sites listed for the P80s. Good luck! rr

Thanks for the info. Most sites say it was green but I'm hoping there
is some reference that says what shade.

If it was green, it would definitely have been WWII olive drab.
