I have to ask what brand/color of blue you use for your decks?

BTW, "wow" probably isn't enough to say about your paint jobs. That California is probably one of the best camo jobs I've seen on a 1/1800 ship.

I use Vallejo paint. I mix colors to get the deck blue so it doesnt exactly match from batch to batch. I'll go through my notes and a pdf I found online of color matching for Vallejo paints and post it soon.

That's it. I downloaded this about 18 months ago. Very nice work. This list is my standard when I'm painting.

Thank you!

I am working on the last update (adding the rest of the US Army Air Corps colors) and tweaks now. But it probably won't be done until the end of the year.
