Measure 21 is overall 5-N Navy Blue, with 20-B Deck Blue.

Measure 22 is 5-N Navy Blue from the stern level, parallel to the waterline, to the bow.

Everything above that is 5-H Haze Grey.

The ModelMaster paints are correct for that time period.

New Mex, The proper shades you are looking for are available from White ensign Models. There web site is: www.whiteensignmodels.com They are in England. But there shipping is pretty good, about a week and a half from order time to my door.

Thanks Dave,

Trouble is, I can't remember where I live sometimes, but I can tell you what colors any US capital ship wore between 1941 and 1945...kinda scary...
