My great-uncle was on the USS Franklin when it was hit off of the coast of Japan. He was a Radioman first class and he died at his post. I have a kit of the Franklin that I bought when we were in Charleston South Carolina last year visiting the Yorktown. Eventually I'm going to have to sit down and research all of the US Navy paint measures to try to figure out how to paint her |

Quote HistoryThat's measure 32. It used to take me 4 hours to paint a 1/1200 scale ship in that pattern. You have to get both port and starboard view to do it. At the bottom of the article there's even the pattern by which one may recreate the Franklin's paint scheme. |

Try the PT boats......PT109, possibly the most famous boat of the war, and no one knows what the hull color really was. that and the final configuration is up for debate.
