RGL Posted August 20, 2021 Author Share #96 Posted August 20, 2021 The upgrade set for CV-1 has a wooden deck set but the set for AV-3 does not! so I’m pretty sure the deck was a darker wood than the stick on deck. So, with the end but I don’t need, I’ve tried left - Primer and flat brown centre - nothing Right - flat brown. I’ll probably lighten it a bit and weather with with fading like I did on Essex. popeye the sailor, GrandpaPhil, oneslim and 6 others 9 Quote Greg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RGL Posted August 21, 2021 Author Share #97 Posted August 21, 2021 So another bit of brown and white mixed paint added in the centre, which I think I prefer, and some buff overspray.

lmagna Posted August 22, 2021 Share #102 Posted August 22, 2021 (edited) I will go with the lighter color as well. The Langley was operating out of the Philippines prior to the opening of WWII as a seaplane tender. She was sent south by Adm. Hart just prior to the attack on Pearl Harbor along with most of the seaplanes belonging to the Asiatic Fleet. Like most of the ships of ABDA at that time the next couple of months under the tropical sun and continuous duties caused their paint jobs to fade and more than the normal wear on ships in the area. I would not include skid marks on the deck though. I don't think the Langley had landed or launched an aircraft since her conversion ion to a seaplane tender in 1937. Even the P-40s stowed on deck on her last voyage had been placed there by cranes and would have been removed the same way if she had reached Java.

Mcdood Posted August 22, 2021 Share #103 Posted August 22, 2021 I am inclined to agree with the other comments, it’s the lighter shade for me as I am sure the bleaching effect on the open deck would have taken place.
