CA-35 Indianapolis Deck Colors

Appreciate the help.

Hi,

It depends on what time period you're modelling. When she was in Measure 31 dazzle camouflage, her decks were in a pattern using 5-O Ocean Gray and Deck Blue 20-B. As lost, in Measure 22 camouflage, her decks were Deck Blue 20-B overall.

These colors are available in White Ensign Models' Colourcoats enamels:

US10, Deck Blue 20-B;
US06, 5-O Ocean Gray.

Squadron Heavy Crusiers vol one is a great reference. It, however does not specify deck colors. Most capital ships during the later part of the war used deck blue
