Anyone have any suggestions as to what color the Hosho would have been in its earlier configuration? Kure Grey perhaps? Also, what color grey should the bulk of the flight deck be? the same?
Thanks for any help guys,
Chris

She was built in a private yard for which I do not believe there are records of the actual paint shade. Kure Grey should be fine. The perimeter of the deck would be the same color. Otherwise, wood.

Re: IJN Hosho color question
I know the aft portion of the deck was wood, but was the center portion as well?
Also, thanks again Dan!
