The RNZAF did not operate Martlets. Some NZ pilots flew Martlets, when part of allied forces (FAA etc). The RNZAF did operate Avengers, but this was the only Grumman product they used.
The colours look about right for the Pacific theatre. Of course, they would not be gloss. Also, WWII Pacific schemes tended to have one-colour topsides, with a lighter colours in the middle and on the belly, similar to the Dauntless and SB2C. The camo scheme looks European. Perhaps a European scheme done in Pacific colours?
I like it. Providing no-one is saying that it is an authentic representation of an actual aircraft, I think it adds variety and interest to an airshow.
Cheers,
