TGarthConnelly Posted September 30, 2015 Report Posted September 30, 2015 Hello All, I've got a question for the Paint Scheme Gurus here, guys like John Snyder, Randy Short and anyone here who might be able to help me. I'm going to have a model of the USAF 95-foot (94' 11")ASRC built. It's the old LINDBERG kit (about 15 years ago, my brother got it for me on "the evil site" from a guy in Portugal). I'm going to have Stan, my builder, depict it as the boat appeared in the early 1960s - when the 2 95-footers were turned over to the USN as "Beach Jumper" boats ... Mainly because I don't want a model in white, yellow and Day-Glo Orange. HA HA. OK, I got a pair of 1:76 scale quad-50 Maxon mounts for it from Millicast in Scotland which will replace the kit's HORRIBLE 20mm guns and which are correct for the boat ... But, what I need to know is; in the early 1960s, what did the USN paint their wooden craft in? What gray? And what were the decks - a darker gray than the hull? And, the bottom of the boat, would they have used Copperoyd or some other color? Will you please help me? Thank you, Tim
