Court Jester
Mongoose
These ship has been painted in my "interpretation" of the US Navy "Measure 31 & 32, Dark & Medium Pattern System" sported by ships throughout 1944.
I made up the colours from the black and white image and made up the pattern on the decks because I could find no pictures of it. So my guess is I got it quite wrong, but I think it looks cool...
Hopefully I have managed to get the effect of two different camo schemes depending on how you look at the ship, horizontal surfaces and vertical surfaces although the three different tones of grey used on the vertical surfaces are hard to make out in the pictures because the dark grey merges with the black... :x
The numbers and lettering are only temporary until I can find the time to put together and print out some tiny labels.
The models are 1/3000 Davco.
