Howdy Bill,

First, welcome to the forum, we're glad to have ya here.
Ok, I have about three of these SBD models here at the house, only built one, and it was in a gray and white color scheme. But, I did a quick google search and found a few photos of the color scheme you are taling about:

Here is abit different layout of the same colors:

(above: even in black and white, you can see the three color paint job. Pic found at: http://www.aviation-history.com/douglas/sbd5-1b.jpg )

Anyway, a search in google images will show you quite a few photos, if not there, try yahoo images. Hope these help.

Have a good day,

Greg
