I'm going to be making Tamiya's USS Bogue as 'HMS Emperor' - a batch3 ship transferred to the UK as lease-lend. Photo's show that she started off in US camo scheme with a dark flight deck and two-colour camo on the hull - what colours would they be for 1943?

She had a very varied career - from North Atlantic escort to Singapore, with strikes on the Tirpitz and action in the Med. on the way!

Hello Dave,
Try a site called shipcamouflage.com, It is run by Randy Short(?) i think.
He has all of the cammo used my the USN in WW2.
