The banshee entered USN & USAF service in the fifties, but it was the dark blue scheme which became the well-known coloring for this aircraft.
The aircraft was also used for a very short time in all natural metal which could be an option for modelers, later their aircraft were painted in the grey/white colors we all know the navy/ marines to use in the 60's. The Canadian Naval Airforce also used the Banshee.
