USS Reno
by Dave Becker

1/350 USS Reno CLAA-96 1942 (BWN now Yankee Modelworks)

CLAA-96 USS Reno in 1944. Model kit is the Blue Water Navy 1/350 USS Oakland.  I built the kit as the USS Reno in late 1944.  Camouflage pattern worn was Measure 33/24d two color scheme of 5-O Ocean Gray and 5-P Pale Gray with Deck patterns in 5-O Ocean Gray and 5-N Navy Blue.

Kit was missing the bottom half of hull.  Lady running the garage sale where I bought the kit said her EX put the part in the oven to straighten it, forgot he did and it melted.
