The Ship Model Forum

Japanese blast bags were standard off-white canvas. The canvas quickly darkened. I have seen a lot of illustrations and models with light tan colored blast bags. Blast bags on USN battleships and cruisers were rubberized canvas and painted black. Canvas on USN ships (boat covers, etc) was usually dyed the same dark blue as the decks.

Thank you very much for this list!

Take care,

Chris

You are very welcome!

Just a few more tweaks and additions. I added Norfolk 65A anti-fouling red. I needed it for a model I am working on! The miniatures I paint are all waterline so this is the first time this color came up for me. I tweaked Grigio-azzurro Chiaro (Light Blue-Grey for submarines) for the Regia Marina, and Kure Naval Arsenal Gray for the IJN. In aircraft I tweaked RAF Sky Type S (duck egg blue), and RAF light slate gray. By popular demand (and for my model project) I also added the post war USN ship colors for Haze Gray, Deck Gray, and Flight Deck Gray, plus a mix for Boeing Gray.

The file name is the same so the links to the http://Box.com document don't break. But you can find the version date of June 24, 2023 on page 25.
