Hello to all,

i´de like to paint my Gearing in this measure. Unfortunally i can´t find any picture, where you can see the deck pattern. Maybe someone here can help me.

Thanks in advance

Sebastian

Try here http://sun-wais.oit.unc.edu/hyperwar/OnlineLibrary/photos/sh-co-mk/camouflg/usn-wwii/dd692-ls.htm

It has a bunch of camo scheme drawings for the Sumners as well as some info about all the schemes worn by the Sumners and Gearings. Sadly there's no drawings of the Gearings but there is a photo of one towards the bottom.




According to the site, only 3 Gearings carried Ms 33a/28d


The layout drawings are unavailable on the Naval Historical Center's site but!!!!



Hope that helps man!

Hi,

thank you. It seems so that all decks a painted Deck Blue overall, so no pattern.

Rick Davis has noticed that ships in the atlantic were less likely to have deck patterns later in the war; this may have been due to the lesser air threat.
