You have to work from photos as she never fully matched the design sheet. AFAIK all the commercially available design sheets are redraws, often with errors. Be aware she had two Ms32/18d schemes and the Trumpy kit is for the later one (the early one had a black panel on the starboard bow, the later one had a grey panel). There are some other differences between the two as well.

Ed,

No, this kit does not have a template. It does have a color drawing showing the Ms .32 camo. This may be what you refer to as a template. Port and starboard are different. Good luck painting this one. Mine will be painted in Ms 22.

North Carolina Dazzle Template?
Posted by Anonymous on Tuesday, December 6, 2005 9:45 AM
Does the Trumpeter 1/350 North Carolina kit contain a template for the "dazzle" paint scheme?

I was able to successfuly paint the Hornet by scaling up the template in that kit at Kinko's and using the result as a mask.

I spend summers on a sailboat and model to get thru the winter. Last winter was Titanic. This winter the "Showboat" but I'd like to use the dazzle measure. I've seen the photos but need a template. Also, was the dazzle measure the same port & starboard (often the dazzle schemes differed)?

Thanks for any help.
