I’ve managed to delete my color guide and am now once again looking for info on the color of the Dauutlesses onboard the Hornet during the battle of midway.

I’m thinking the top of the planes are to be Navy Blue Grey and the bottoms Gull Gray (colors may not be exact just close) but not sure if that’s what these paint are for or not.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Gull Gray would work for the bottoms, but Navy Blue would be much too dark for the top.

Officially, the top was Non-Specular Blue/Gray and the bottom Non-Specular Gray.

White Ensign sells these in their paint line, if you use enamels. I think Testors has them in acrylics, but that line is discontinued, so you may have trouble finding it.

Thanks guys.
The Navy Blue Gray that I have is made by Model Master and appears to look like the color in the 1'st link Gunny posted so I’ll give it a try.

Here ya go Jacob, markings and everything.
