Latest additions - EA-6B in colors from the Battle of the Coral Sea:
A P-3 in the colors of VP-44 PBY from Midway:
And a Growler in tri-color from Air Group 85 embarked in USS Shangri-La late in the war:
So basically, we now have one of everything in the inventory, fixed and rotary wing, carrier- and shore-based (including an S-3B) in heritage colors - some with more than one example. All that is, it seems, except an E-2C. So with that in mind, I humbly submit a proposal for an E-2C in the colors of VW-1, circa 1952-55:
How about it NAVAIR?

I'd go with the Grey over White/"Willy Fudd" E-1 Tracer/VAW-12, DET65
circa 1962-64 USS Enterprise of the Cuban Missile Crisis & Operation Sea Orbit.
