Uss Hornet Camo

I do not know which colors were used right off but, someone will come along & can help with that.
I just ran a google search & here's a good source of pics.

The colors on the hull were 5-N Navy Blue (the darker color) and 5-O Ocean Gray (the lighter color); on the superstructure the colors were 5-O Ocean Gray and 5-H Haze Gray (the lighter color). The flight deck was stained Norfolk 250-N Flight Deck Stain, and external steel decks and steel horizontal surfaces were painted 20-B Deck Blue. If you're detailing the hangar bay interior, the hangar deck was painted #20 Standard Deck Gray, while the bulkheads and overheads were 5-U White.

We have all those colors accurately matched and available in our Colourcoats enamels. No minimum order on paints, and we ship worldwide.

I'm not concerned about the colors, but thanks anyway guys.  What I wanted to know is if the wavey shapes look proper as they are now or if I should make them smaller and more jagged.

I think I understand what you want & upon looking at the pattern you've used, there are a few lines that are "too straight" (towards the stern) Here's a good shot of a camo pattern done during the Dolittle Raid

That's exactly what I was looking for.   I guess the box art and the model I looked at were a little too uniform in their waves.

Glad to have helped. You are most welcome.
Have fun & enjoy
