MM enamel #'s to ?

Take a look at Snyder and Short.

And maybe we can hear from Tracy White.

According to their database, Enterprise was either Measure 11 or later Measure 21 in 1942. Both have the deck painted 20-B Deck Blue, but M 11 has 5-S Sea Blue and M 21 has 5-N Navy Blue verticals. In other words, a big blue ship. In my experience, 5-N and 20-B are pretty much the same thing.

Your best results would be finding some Colourcoats enamels, but those are hard to find now. I'd expend the effort for a project like this.

And do post in "Ships".

Good luck, Art

I know a LHS near me has both MM colors you're looking for. PM me if you'd like me to to pick up a couple bottles for you.

214-   Thanks for the link and offer.  Still sorting it out at to what the correct scheme is as per GM's link.

GM-  I noted in the S & S page that they state that wood decks except for submarines and carriers would be Sea Blue.  So I would take that to mean that her flight deck would still be natural teak.

**EDIT**  dug into S & S a little more and found that by mid '41 her flight deck was blue stain as per Richard Best, SBD pilot assigned to her.
