I just got the Tamiya modern New Jersey as a new project to work on. Does anyone have suggestions for colors for the superstructure and deck? I usually use Testors model master paints.

For the superstructure, I might suggest using both light ghost gray and dark ghost gray. Using two close colors will keep the superstructure from looking like one big blob.

For the deck, other than the wood, I would suggest something like a burnt iron in metalizers.

Lots of pictures at
