Any one know of any websites that list the colors of Japanese ships? Something like shipcamouflage.com is for the US ships.

Hey neighbor!
Are you looking for a particular ship, Jacob, or just need a reference sight in general? If I were you I'd give Kenny (subhunter) a pm...he has TONS of camo drawings, mate!

I've already done the work for you, and the info is available in our own publication: "IMPERIAL JAPANESE NAVY GREYS:A SHIP BY SHIP COMPILATION", covering everything from capital ships down to fleet auxiliaries. Cost is just £3.75, and you can order from our secure website.

I’m looking for a reference site for the them. That way I don’t need to bug you guys every time I get a new ship. :-)
Just something that lists the official colors and measures for common ships.

Once again White Ensign to the rescue. Sounds like a great reference book. Gotta big show coming up this week and that will be high on my list to try to pickup.
