This is the Trumpeter kit with the full hanger deck. 1st.What color are the inside faces of the rolling doors. And 2nd. What color is the flight deck--on the box top it looks like dark blue.

Just a SWAG, but I would say Haze Grey for the inner faces of the roll up doors.

The bulkheads do not match the white on the Hellcats in this photo

or perhaps Ocean Gray as the rest appears to be here on here shakedown cruise in 1943

The flight deck should be stained in Deck Blue 20-B for her WWII service career. Just like all other US CVs in combat in WWII.

 

F is for FIRE, That burns down the whole town!

U is for URANIUM... BOMBS!

N is for NO SURVIVORS...

There were some old areas on the Hornet .( The Museum Ship ) that were a medium light grey.

       Someone who served on her in active duty said that was done for some scenes in a movie to replicate the littish blue grey inside on the bulkheads .The doors were sea grey on the inside !

Sorry I can't resist .

Don't do what I did . Don't concentrate to much on those colors , at that scale .

If you do it will look like you dipped the ship in the paint , shook the excess off and let her dry !

    My poor Buckley has to be shown under a bright light with her 1/350 counterpart . Yeah , I did it to two poor models .See I mess up too !
