Hello I'm planning to build the Tamiya New Jersey, but I want to use the correct colors, I know WEM has them but I don't know wich colors I need to use where, exept for the red Very Happy

I would be happy if someone could help me with this.

Greetings!

You'll probably need to specify what time frame you want your model to represent before you can get a specific answer. Once you do that, someone will be able to answer your question.

Modern fit: Modern USN Haze grey sides, Modern USN Dech grey decks, Teak for wood decks.

early-WWII era fit: sides 5-N Navy blue, decks 20-B deck blue

late-WWII-era fit: 5-N up to lowest sheer line, 5-H above that. Decks 20-B

good luck finding them in the WEM catalogue, they should be listed as i have written them above. I have used most of these and can testify they are ery good.

Since you are in Europe, it is easier to order direct from WEM. Sorry 'bout the VAT.

Here are the WEM Colour Coats numbers that you will need.
M 03 U.S. NAVY HAZE GRAY (ships decks)
M 04 U.S. NAVY DECK GRAY (ships steel decks)
M 05 U.S. NAVY FLIGHT DECK GRAY (Heilo landing pad)
M 06 U.S. NAVY ANTI-FOULING RED (lower Hull below waterline)
C 01 TEAK (wood decks)
C 02 MATT BLACK (waterline)

will the colors work for a modern Enterprise? I figure some of the colors would work.

Hi Alpha19,

Yes, those colors (M 03 through M 06) are the correct colors for the modern CVN-65.

Thanks John. it's alot easier when paint mixing isn't involved. I'll order the paint and PE kit when the ship comes in. Do you make a hanger detail kit for CVN-65?

Sorry, no. You'll have to resort to scratchbuilding on that.
