Hi guys,

Could anyone give me any information or links to find the colour schemes of USN T2 oiltankers for the Pacific fleet in 1943? I've found only black and white pics so far with no colour info at all.

Any help will be most appreciated.

I found this site yesterday in someone else's post.

While it doesn't have auxiliaries listed yet, it appears they are going to be adding them sometime in the future. As far as the rest of the site is concernced it is absolutely incredible.

I'd have to check to see if the AO-49 class were T-2s, don't have my reference material at hand. But there is a reference in one section of the web site, (Ships-2 of 1943) which indicates that ships in that class were either in Measure 23 or 33. (The heading is off-set so it's hard to know for sure.

Which ship are you doing?

Hi Tom,

I'm planning a dio based on this pic. I don't have the designation of the oiler. The kit I'm using for the oiler is Revel's 1/400 Shell Oiltanker.



Dign25 has given me the info that the ship would be in measure 12. Thanks for the link, there's a full explanation of that camo scheme on there.
