"CAMOUFLAGE BOOKS"

Our newly re-printed camouflage 2, which has been out of print for several years is now available in CD format. This companion to our Camouflage 1 (see above) covers the US Navy's Fleet Carriers of WW2. This book goes into great detail on the dazzle camouflage applied to Fleet and Light Carriers. Camouflage 2 has been expanded and with over 143 photographs!! Each chapter is built around an official USN master design drawing. Each carrier (wearing that specific design) is then shown in numerous photographs, enabling the dazzle pattern to be viewed from several different angles. This includes aerial as well as sea level views.

Most photographs have never before been seen. Some are action pictures, and some full page. Some are invaluable close-ups showing structure, radar and rigging details. Additionally, there is a special supplemental chapter. It updates those schemes (discussed in the first book) of which we have uncovered material.

" COLOR CHIP CARDS"

USN COLOR CHIP CARD

U.S. Navy Set 1
Price: $18.00

This first set of U.S. Navy World War II ship paint chips covers the grays and blues in use from the pre-war period through roughly early 1945. The two prewar grays were used by the U.S. Navy from the end of World War I until 1941. The U.S. Navy began experiments in the late 1930s to develop camouflage paints and applications, first publishing the results in January 1941 in the form of instructions contained in Ships-2. The range of purple-blue colors developed from the earlier experiments became the basis for the colors contained in this set. These paint chips have been carefully matched to Navy Yard-issued paint chips when available, or to the 1929 Munsell Book of Color that was the basis for the official Navy specifications. In one instance – 5S Sea Blue – the set includes three separate chips, with Saea Blue A and Sea Blue C matched to separate Navy Yard paint samples, while Sea Blue B is matched to the Munsell specifications; all would be correct for use. While these colors continued in use until the end of the war, a shortage of blue pigment in late 1944 led to the development of a set of neutral grays which were often used in combination with the purple-blues. This set contains 20 chips on two sheets and covers the following colors: PREWAR:  #5 Standard Navy Gray #20 Standard Deck Gray Early 1941 5-L Light Gray 5-O Ocean Gray 5-D Dark Gray Late 1941: 5-H Haze Gray 5-O Ocean Gray Cavite Blue 5-S Sea Blue A 5-S Sea Blue B 5-S Sea Blue C 5-N Navy Blue 5-B Thayer Blue 20-B Deck Blue  1942: 20B Revised Deck Blue 250N Norfolk Flight Deck Stain #21 Flight Deck Stain   1943 #82 Black 5-P Pale Gray 5-L Light Gray   U.S.Navy Set 2 $25.00 The outbreak of World War II found the U.S. Navy totally lacking direction for colors and camouflage patterns for its amphibious forces. Thus with the onset of landing operations at Guadalcanal, forces afloat began painting ships, landing craft, and PT boats subject to inshore operations against a jungle background in a series of greens and browns in largely homemade patterns. In early 1943 these colors were officially revised, then revised again later in the year, based on experience and studies. In 1944, the Navy developed a final set of three greens and a brown to be used by the amphibious and PT forces. This second set of U.S. Navy World War II paint chips offers the full range of greens and browns developed and utilized from 1942 through the end of the war. It also covers the neutral grays developed in late 1944 as a result of a shortage of blue pigment. These neutral grays were used in combination with each other and with the earlier purple-blues. Also included are prewar Mahogany Flight Deck Stain as used on the early carriers – LANGLEY, the LEXINGTON and YORKTOWN classes, and WASP; and Mountbatten Pink Dark as used on some USN destroyers. This set contains 30 chips on three sheets and covers the following colors: Prewar (1920s - 1930s) Mahogany Flight  Deck Stain 1942: Mountbatten Pink (Dark) Brown 1A   Green 1A Brown 2A   Green 2A Brown 3A   Green 3A Brown 4A   Green 4A 1943 Early Greens 5-HG Haze Green 5-OG Ocean Green 5-NG Navy Green 20-G Deck Green 1943 Revised Greens 5-PG Pale Green 5-LG Light Green 5-HG Haze Green (revised)      5-OG Ocean Green (revised) 5-NG Navy Green (revised) 1944: #1 Green   #2 Green #3 Green   #4 Brown 1944-1945 Neutral Grays #46 Outside Gray         #11 Outside Gray #37 Light Gray 5-L      #7 Navy Gray 5-N #27 Haze Gray 5-H     #4 Deck Gray 20 #17 Ocean Gray Imperial Japanese Navy Set Price: $14.00 In comparison to its two main adversaries – the U.S. Navy and the Royal Navy – the Imperial Japanese Navy developed little in the way of camouflage schemes, and utilized a much smaller range of colors. Camouflage schemes saw some use on units assigned to the Aleutians, on seaplane tenders, armed merchant cruisers and merchant ships, and in the late war years on some cruisers and aircraft carriers. Of primary interest to modelers of the IJN is the fact that the four principal navy yards – Kure, Sasebo, Maizuru, and Yokosuka – utilized gray paints that differed somewhat in shade. Thus the modeler desiring greatest accuracy must conduct enough research to know which yard a given ship was assigned to or refitted and repaired. This set of paint chips provides all four grays, and as a bonus we also include a partial list of IJN ships and dates they underwent construction or major refits at these yards. The set also provides two greens used on aircraft carriers later in the war, as well as a tan used in combination with the greens and grays for flight deck camouflage. The final color provided – linoleum – was not a paint color, but rather the molded-in color of the linoleum used on the weather decks of some ships. All colors were carefully matched to Japanese sources. This set contains 10 chips on a single sheet and covers the following colors: Sasebo Naval Arsenal Gray Kure Naval Arsenal Gray Maizuru Naval Arsenal Gray Yokosuka Naval Arsenal Gray Type 1 Camouflage  Type 2 Camouflage Type 21 Camouflage Type 22 Camouflage Deck Tan Linoleum Royal Navy Set 1 Price: $20.00 The Royal Navy entered World War II with its ships wearing one of four peacetime paint schemes, depending upon the command to which they were attached. By early 1940 the Home Fleet began to repaint in colors and schemes designed to conceal the ships against a land background, and other striking and unofficial schemes followed. The initial official camouflage was the First Admiralty Disruptive Type, which appeared in early 1941. This first set of Royal Navy World War II ship paint chips covers the colors in use from the prewar period through the end of 1941, and therefore provides those colors used in the various unofficial schemes and patterns as well as in the First Admiralty Disruptive Type. These chips have been carefully matched to Admiralty-issued paint chips or actual samples from ships’ paint lockers when available, or to the 1929 Munsell Book of Color as specified by noted author Alan Raven. Modelers are referred to Alan Raven’s “The Development of Naval Camouflage 1914-1945 Part III: British Camouflage in World War II,” in Plastic Ship Modeler, 1997/1 (Plastic Ship Modeler is published by Daniel H. Jones, P.O. Box 2183, Arvada CO 80001-2183), and to Alan Raven’s upcoming series of books on Royal Navy Camouflage to be published by WR Press and available from Snyder & Short Enterprises. This set contains 22 chips on two sheets and covers the following colors: 507A (1920) 507B (1940) 507C (1920) B-5 (1941) B-6 (1941) PB-10 (1940) Western Approaches Blue (1941) Western Approaches Green (1941) Pink (1941) Mountbatten Pink, Light (1940) Mountbatten Pink, Dark (1940) MS-1 (1941) MS-2 (1941) MS-3 (1941) MS-4 (1941) MS-4a (1941) Dark Brown (1940) Light Green (1940) Berwick Blue (1941) Dark Blue (1941) Deck Coverings Semtex (Early War) Corticene Royal Navy Set 2 Price: $17.00 By early 1942 the Royal Navy’s use of camouflage was widespread on units of all types. But late 1941 had seen the RN’s camouflage section hard at work developing colors and patterns for specific ship, geographic area, and threat types. Patterns were simplified and shapes made larger, and by mid-1942 most smaller ships had repainted in one of the new official schemes. Shortage of some pigments led to the development of new colours in the G and B series, with some of the earlier colors being superseded. Admiralty Disruptive Schemes were now promulgated in light and dark versions. The increased use of radar led in very late 1943 to the development of very simplified camouflage designs which came into use in 1944 and lasted to the end of the war. Disruptive patterns largely disappeared during this period. This set of paint chips covers the colors issued after 1941, In addition, it includes an alternate B5 and B6 from those included in our Royal Navy Set 1; the alternate colors were matched to the original hand-painted camouflage design sheets for HMS Farndale. The set also includes prewar Buff, and a Mountbatten Pink matched to a sample provided by the Royal Navy to the U.S. Navy in 1942, presumably for use on Royal Navy vessels undergoing repair in U.S. shipyards. All colors have been carefully matched to Admiralty-issued paint chips or actual samples from ships’ paint lockers when available, to HMS Farndale’s design sheets, or to the 1929 Munsell Book of Color as specified by noted author, Alan Raven. Modelers are referred to Alan Raven’s “The Development of Naval Camouflage 1914-1945 Part III: British Camouflage in World War II,” in Plastic Ship Modeler, 1997/1 (Plastic Ship Modeler is published by Daniel H. Jones, P.O. Box 2183, Arvada CO 80001-2183), and to Alan Raven’s upcoming series of books on Royal Navy Camouflage to be published by WR Press and available from Snyder & Short Enterprises. This set contains 16 chips on two sheets and covers the following colors: G5 G10 G20 G45 B15 B20 B30 B55 B5 (HMS Farndale) B6 (HMS Farndale) White Black Stone Buff Mountbatten Pink (RN to the USN) Semtex (Late War) Royal Navy Set 3 Price: $20.00 Designed for the ship modeler, historian, or maritime artist, requiring accuracy of colour, this third set of the Royal Navy covers a variety of subjects. B55(1943), B30(1943), and B20(1943) are from Admiralty shade cards and are the colour specifications for the 1943 period. The actual colours changed later in the war, but kept the same names. G55 and B40 were also Admiralty colours. G55 was used in late war Western Approaches and some Admiralty Standard schemes in place of B55. Use of B40 is not documented, but we included the colour because it did exist at one time. We've included three Australian colours. The HMAS Murchison wore two of these on her superstructure and hull. Our Chicago Blue sample is from a paint stick saved by the gentleman who used it to stir the paint. The Submarine HMS Storm wore a camouflage scheme of two colours. Our samples are from her paint locker. We have colours used on specific Corvettes. Honeysuckle Blue is a 10% reflectance version of B5, and was used on her and other Corvettes.  HMS Burdock and HMS Alisma wore a Yellow and Blue pattern in the South Atlantic. The colour faded quickly in service, becoming a yellow-tinged, off-white colour. Rockingham Blue is from the lend-lease four piper. Montgomery Blue-green was created by HMS Montgomery's captain, who ordered Western Approaches Blue and Western Approaches Green mixed together to create a colour he liked. The last three colours are from the paint lockers of HMS Jamaica, Nigeria, and Arethusa. All colors have been carefully matched to Admiralty-issued paint chips or actual samples from ships’ paint lockers when available, or to the 1929 Munsell Book of Color as specified by noted author, Alan Raven. Modelers are referred to Alan Raven’s “The Development of Naval Camouflage 1914-1945 Part III: British Camouflage in World War II,” in Plastic Ship Modeler, 1997/1 (Plastic Ship Modeler is published by Daniel H. Jones, P.O. Box 2183, Arvada CO 80001-2183), and to Alan Raven’s series of books on Royal Navy Camouflage published by WR Press and available from Snyder & Short Enterprises.
