The vertical (hull & superstructure) were "Haze Gray" (a medium gray), the decks were "Deck Gray" (a dark gray), and the flight deck was "Flight Deck Gray" (even darker yet). I get my colors from "White Ensign Models". As for the mast, They were Haze Gray, with Flat Black from the Stacks and up. The ships that served in the Persian Gulf had the whole mast's repainted Haze Gray. Good photo's of these examples can be found at www.navsource.org and go to the Destroyer section. This is a "Spruance Class DD". I'm not familiar with that kit, is it a 1/700 scale? I served on 2 of the "Ingersoll's" sister ships, the USS Caron and the USS Stump.
