Japanese heavy cruiser Tone.
Posted by John Bertelsen on Sunday, August 21, 2011 5:02 AM

Hello....

I have a question about paint for this ship???

This ship is originally buildt at the shipyard called Mitubisi november 21. 1937. But is rebuildt in 1943 at the Kure shipyard.

My question is which grey color to use at this ship from 1943. Is it kure grey??

Regards John Bertelsen.

Check the TROM  (Tabular Record of Movement) for the TONE at Combined Fleet for the period of interest.     Japanese did not have a standard fleet-wide paint scheme, rather ships were painted with paint developed/ used at the ports where they received refits & overhauls.
