Ratch Posted August 16, 2021 Share Posted August 16, 2021 I am currently building the USS Buchanan and would like to represent her just before she was transferred to the Royal Navy, What colour(s) should I be using? I usually use Vallejo acrylic paints (though I have others too) so a near-enough may be as close as I can get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeR Posted August 16, 2021 Share Posted August 16, 2021 Sovereign Hobbies has some good info on their website: LINK. IIRC from the Pathe footage showing the handover, the Buchanan and rest were still in the USN pre-war scheme of #5 Standard Navy Gray horizontals, #20 Standard Deck Gray decks, black boot-topping with Norfolk 65-A Antifouling Red underwater. As for Vallejo equivalents, there was a gentleman on Modelwarships.com who complied this list which gives info for not just USN, but RN and others as well: LINK.
