Midnight blue F6F-3 ?

The vast majority of F6F-3 Hellcats were delivered to the US Navy in the 3-tone scheme was factory applied, regardless of whether it was an E or N night fighter subtype. The very earliest of F6F-3s were delivered in 2-tone Non-Specular Blue Gray over Light Gray, after that they were all 3 tone Sea Blue, Intermediate Blue and White.

 

That 3-tone camo carried through into the first few of the F6F-5 production, after which the scheme was changed to the late war overall Gloss Sea Blue.

 

For an F6F night fighter in overall Gloss Sea Blue, your only safe bet is an F6F-5E or F6F-5N.
