They probably want $$$$ from you Cees, rather an unsubtle way at that!
Nice repaints, looking forward to getting airborne in them.

Photobucket stopped being useful for image links a while back as they attempted to find a way to monetize their business.
I'd suggest using imgur -- still free, still works well.
Hi Cees - thanks for considering it.
From my limited records, it's mostly like standard period markings. Roundel on port top wing, "NAVY" on starboard top wing. And reversed underneath.
These are not quite the same scheme, but shows the markings:

Sorry I don't have a lot of source image on that point.

FS21105 is probably the right color?
Cees
Looks fine now!
Hello Cees!
The colour was pretty awful - but nevertheless, it's one of the crazy ones they used. Yellow, orange, and even pink was applied to various Hellcats, Cougars, and other drone airframes. I think you nailed it.
Will it get your stenciling attention like the VF-144?
Looking good. Will get good use from this one.
Many thanks in advance!

Cees, Thanks!!! The Blue Angel Cougar looks great.
Thanks Cees,
By this stage of their operational life, they certainly had a bit of wear and tear.
In case you're wondering as to the wing "walk" strip - these I'm pretty sure used the non-skid black: https://www.flickr.com/photos/skyhawkpc/40419999172/
This seems to have applied to all the drone varieties, in the various colour schemes.
I hope that helps.

As an additional note about the wing walks -
during pre-flight, as best I recall, you could check the hydraulic reservoir levels when you pushed down on the starboard forward aux air door. Also, it was easy to hop off the aft end of either wing walk because the trailing edges were so close to the ground.
