About product

US Navy WWII Haze Gray 5 H

A lighter gray shade of the US Navy from the Lifecolor acrylic range. The letter and number designation in the name belongs to the period system of shade designations of the US Navy, and the maker takes it over as it is. The paint is acrylic, water-based.

Lightness instead of position

American schemes dealt not only with what was vertical and what horizontal, but also with height above the water. The higher an area lay, the lighter the shade it got, so that the superstructures were lost against the sky while the darker tone lower down merged with the sea. This shade is precisely the medium to lighter member of the series: it suits the upper parts of the superstructures, the bridge and the funnels, or the whole vertical surface where a scheme worked with a single lighter tone. It does not belong on the horizontal surfaces here either; the decks have colors of their own.

Where the shade belongs on a model

  • The upper levels of the superstructures, the bridge and the command position
  • Funnels, masts, booms and other high-lying elements
  • The vertical surfaces of the hull in schemes with a lighter gray
  • Lighter transitions on surfaces that catch the full light

Who it is for

For modelers of American ships who want to grade the gray by height rather than paint the whole model in one tone. In larger scales it also proves itself as the lighter member of a pair when playing out areas on which a uniform color would look dead.

Keep out of the reach of children, work with good ventilation and close the container carefully after use.

FAQ

So that they merge with the sky. Graded schemes put a darker tone low down against the water and a lighter one up high against the sky, by which the outline of the ship fell apart at a distance.

No. The horizontal surfaces have deck shades of their own in the American system; this one belongs on the verticals.

It is the period designation of the shade used by the US Navy, which the maker copies from the original system. It is not a scale or a package code.

With some schemes yes, with graded ones no: there it is combined with darker grays lower down on the hull.
