None in particular.  I am interested in the different paint schemes it wore throughout the war.  I am undecided as to which one to use.

This is from the 2nd incarnation of VF-17 after they were decomissioned in early April 1944. After the squadron broke apart then VF-17 was recomissioned a few weeks later in California and placed aboard the USS Hornet. But XO Roger Hedrick carried the "skull and crossbones" tradition over to VF-84 a few weeks later when he headed up that squadron.
