Hi all,

Does anyone know the colours of the ships boats on IJN ships, the painting instructions for the Tama only say Neutral grey the same as the ship but some pictures I have seen show the deck of the steam launch to be possible wood while the cutters (?) are grey hull and what appears to be white/pale grey decks.

Any help please.

Ciao

That's a good question Luciano. I would go with your photo research.

I second the motion, here, Luciano...have you bookmarked this site?

If not definitely do, will help in your future IJN projects, for sure!

Thanks guy's,

I have gone ahead and painted them, I will post update photos of Tama at the end of the week (Sunday) so you can judge.

Hi Luciano

Are you making the Tama in her Alleutians Camo?
Just curious...

As for the boats - grey as main ship, decks wood and cabin white.
Late, but...

Skipper

Thanks Skipper thats pretty much what I did for the boats.




No I have done her in the standard (?) grey as I didn't have access to the scheme or correct paints, but this ship has been one of those that just fell together with only minor work so I couldn't wait to start painting see the Leyte campaign photos.

Ciao
Luciano
