I have an ISW Paulding-class WWI destroyer that I'm going to build as DD-38, USS Jarvis as she was in late 1917 - early 1918 on convoy duty and anti U-boat patrol. I have no clue as to the paint job. Is it a solid gray, is it a dazzle? Does anyone have any resource material suggestions?
Thanks:
Charlie

Navsource says dazzle, but I have no idea as to colors or total pattern.

Re: DD-38 Paint Job
Thanks for the starting point. Interesting patterns. The stark contrasts are a good hint towards black, dark gray or dark blue, over white or light gray. But, the darker color could be a dark green as well.Tracy White wrote:Navsource says dazzle, but I have no idea as to colors or total pattern.
