Does anyone have a profile drawing of the USS Juneau, CL-52, in the Mod 12 scheme? I can't find a good photo to work off of anywhere.

Thanks, Kenny

Kenny,

Are you looking for the original scheme or the one she was sunk in?

There are some pictures of both on the Naval Historical Center, including this picture of Juneau in her last scheme:



IIRC, the pattern on the hull was identical on both sides.

No argument here Tomaz. There is a resin one if you want to shell out the bucks for it.

The Naval Historical Center also has these two shots of the original, as built scheme:




Navsource has the same two pictures.

Thanks John,

I have an old Dragon kit I wouldn't mind doing in this color scheme. I assume the blue is for the deck?

Y'all take care,
Don "Lakota"
