All stanchions and other small fittings on deck. The camouflage was always taken over the boot topping, down to the waterline, so there is no black boot-topping stripe.

ZUIKAKU
1944 If painted according to IJN orders, the light green should be Type 21 Camouflage (IJN 07), while the dark green on the hull should be Type 2 Camouflage (IJN 06). The dark green on the flight deck appears to be Type 1 Camouflage (IJN 05), and the tan would Deck Tan (IJN 09). Topmasts would be Type 22 Camouflage (IJN 08).
US Submarines in WW2
There were two Measure 32 schemes that came into official use in June 1944 (they may have been used unofficially a few months earlier). Measure 32/3SS-B was the light-coloured scheme, and Measure 32/9SS was the dark scheme. Here are the painting instructions for the Measure 32 schemes: Measure 32/3SS-B: Paint the deck glossy black (use ACS 04), stopping two feet short of the edges. All other horizontal and sloping surfaces paint BK Dull Black (C 02). The vertical surfaces were painted #27 Haze Gray (US 28). The edges on curved surfaces between the Dull Black and Haze Gray were feathered (blended). Just aft of the conning tower, the Haze Gray blended into #17 Ocean Gray (US 31), which in turn blended into the BK Dull Black stern section. The undersides of any overhanging surfaces were painted 5-U White (C 03). The forward, rounded portion of the conning tower and periscope shears were painted #17 Ocean Gray. The deck guns were painted BK Dull Black on the upper half of the barrels and #46 Outside Gray (US 32) on the lower half of the barrels. Measure 32/9SS: The instructions were the same as for Ms.32/3SS-B, except that #17 Ocean Gray (US 31) was used on the vertical surfaces instead of #27 Haze Gray. Just before the forward deck gun, the #17 Ocean Gray was blended into #11 Outside Gray (US 34). Aft of the conning tower the #11 Outside Gray was blended into #7 Navy Gray (US 35), and this was blended into BK Dull Black at the stern. Both the forward and aft rounded ends of the conning tower were painted #7 Navy Gray, blended into #17 Ocean Gray on the conning tower sides. Measure 9: Some US submarines remained painted in Measure 9, the all-black scheme that came into use in September 1941. For this, paint the entire submarine above the waterline Dull Black (C 02). The painting shall be carried over all parts which are visible from the air including the numbers, capstan, running light boards and bridge rails. Radio insulators shall be dark. There shall be no boot topping. The underbody shall be painted with current issues of black antifouling paints (use ACS 04).
AIRCRAFT COLOURS
Japanese Aircraft Colours: Comment from Nick Millman: "ACJ05 Nakajima Army Green is a near-perfect match for IJAAF colour standard # 21 midori iro (green colour) one of the most commonly used camouflage greens for Army aircraft and often referred to in Japanese sources as "deep green". It is by far the closest out of the tin/bottle match I have so far found in any popular range of paints" WW2 8th AIR FORCE: NEW From Tom Cleaver comes a bit of miscellany regarding field-applied aircraft camouflage that should be of interest. The source is his friend Dick Hewitt, former CO of the 82nd Fighter Squadron of the 78th Fighter Group, who incidentally was the pilot of the well-known-for-being-well-photographed P-47D "MX-E". The 82nd FS did use RAF paints on their airplanes, and the colors were indeed RAF Dark Green and Sky, which they determined were the best camouflage for the missions they were then flying (lots of strafing). Furthermore, Dick said that the only paints that were available to any 8th AF unit were British, because there were no stocks of American paint in England! One can thus infer from that statement that the various field-applied camo for groups like the 56th, 357th and 361st were indeed RAF paints, with no Olive Drab involved. One could further infer effectively that those various repaint patch jobs one sees on B-17s and B-24s were RAF Dark Green. This makes additional sense, given that both RAF Dark Green and USAAF Olive Drab were originally developed from the "official shade" of British PC10 of World War I. Dick is one of the few guys whom Tom has found who paid attention to the colors the airplanes were painted, since he was the squadron commander who approved the colors they decided to use. MODERN RN: Sea Harriers, Sea Kings and Merlins are all Medium Sea Grey BS 637 (AC RN 04). The Harrier GR7/GR9 of the Joint Force Harrier Unit are Ocean Grey (ACRN 07) undersides and Dark Sea Grey (AC RN 03) upper surfaces that recede away from the leading and trailing edges of the wings. EUROFIGHTER TYPHOON: For the RAF version, and according to the T.O.: Camouflage Grey (formerly Barley Grey) BS381C:626 (Colourcoats ACRN 08) with radome, leading edge to canards, intake, wings and fin in Flint Grey FS595 36314 (no Colourcoats match, but ACRA 15 is close). Cockpit interior is Dark Admiralty Grey BS381C:632 (Colourcoats M 16). Engine Intake Flap interior is Camouflage (Barley) Grey BS381C:626 (Colourcoats ACRN 08) with FS 26492 (no Colourcoats match, but ACUS 01 is close) for the intake ducting aft of the intake flap. FALKLANDS HARRIERS: The Harriers that were two-tone: Extra Dark Sea Grey (Colourcoats ACRN 02) and White (Colourcoats C 03), had the White undersides painted out with Extra Dark Sea Grey. That's what made them look Black from a distance. They then gradually were repainted properly in Dark Sea Grey (Colourcoats ACRN 03), apart from the Harriers of 809 squadron which were Medium Sea Grey (Colourcoats ACRN 04), the only Harrier FRS1s to be in that scheme. This squadron was formed in April 1982 having previously been the last RN squadron to operate Buccaneers before disbanding after the Ark Royal was scrapped. They operated from Hermes and then Illustrious until December 1982 when they were again disbanded. They were also the only RN aircraft to carry nose art as well.

ARMOUR COLOURS
WEHRMACHT DUNKELGELB: We're getting lots of calls lately regarding this colour, and specifically its use as a base colour on Tiger tanks. Here's what we can tell you. There were apparently two slightly different versions of the colour. The problem in matching them is that the standard upon which they were based--RAL--changed after WW2 and the current RAL standard colours differ from their wartime predecessors. Therefore, any colour callout for WW2 colours based on the current RAL colours is almost certainly incorrect. Compounding the problem is the almost complete lack of extant wartime RAL colour cards. So, with that in mind, here's what we can say. The early version, which some have dubbed "Dunkelgelb I" and which was purportedly matched to RAL 7028 came into use as the Wehrmacht's standard base colour in February 1943. Colourcoats ARG 02 is a virtual match to the early Dunkelgelb. The later version, dubbed "Dunkelgelb II" and with an RAL standard listed by some as 7028/1 (suspect, because RAL never listed their colours in that manner) came into use as the standard base colour from October 1944. Colourcoats ARG 11 is the match for this colour, and is based on a series of colour matches made by Steve Zaloga on Wehrmacht machines in the armour collection at Aberdeen Proving Grounds in the U.S. So, depending on the time period you are depicting on your German armour--Tiger or otherwise--you can select the proper Dunkelgelb base colour.
PAINT EQUIVALENTS
While there are some colours we don't specifically produce, you will fine equivalents amoung the Colourcoats range: NAVAL COLOURS JMSDF Grey use US 28 Neutral #27 Haze Gray. JMSDF Deck Grey use US 31 Neutral #17 Ocean Gray. Modern German Navy Grey use ACRN 04 Medium Sea Grey. Modern German Deck Grey use ACRN 02 Extra Dark Sea Grey. Grey Semtex use M 16 Modern RN Deck Grey, Light. Tan Semtex use ARI 01 Israeli Sand Grey.
Based on Alan Raven's descriptions, we've already got paints available that will work for the British merchant ship greys used in WW2--Merchant Ship Standard (MSS) and Merchant Ship Dark (MSD) in the form of our late-war USN neutral grays. For MSS use US31 #17 Neutral Ocean Gray--just a bit lighter than AP 507B Admiralty Medium Grey; for MSD use US35 #7 Neutral Navy Gray--about the same tonal value as AP 507A Admiralty Dark Grey. Light MSS was a neutral gray of 40% reflectance, therefore use US 33 #37 Light Gray.

PAINT FORMULAE
There are some colours that, while important, just can't be justified for production. For those, see below: Cavite Blue A homebrew colour worn by the ships of the U.S. Asiatic Fleet in the early days of WW2, as an equivalent for Measure 1 camouflage when the Fleet could not obtain 5-D Dark Gray:: Mix 20 parts Colourcoats US 08 5-N Navy Blue to 3 parts Colourcoats US 27 Norfolk 250-N Flight Deck Stain. Chicago Blue worn by RAN ships beginning in mid-1942: Mix RN 16 B.20 plus a bit of blue, or US 27 Norfolk 250-N Flight Deck Stain lightened a bit with light grey.
