Hanger deck color for CV-6 Enterprise
Posted by baysider on Tuesday, September 7, 2010 10:50 AM

I've started Trumpeter's CV-8 Hornet and converting her into the Enterprise (Midway time frame).  None of my references identify the color of the hanger deck.  I want to open some of the hanger deck shutters and don't want to screw up the deck color.  Any ideas out there?

The hangar deck was Standard Navy Deck Gray #20 (the pre-war color).   The bulkheads and overhead were white.   The weather decks outboard of the roll-up doors were 20B Deck Blue (the wartime color).
