the hull red is just halfords red primer the stripe is revell no 9, the camouflage on hull is revell no78,the white is revell no5 ,the grey is revell 57 (these are all for the hull) superstructure i used grey revell no 76.same white revell no5 black revell no 8 and same white for the stripes and same black,if ya can i would find a better white its not that good as it dries out too quick and leaves a lot of marks,let me know if ya find a better white,make sure you do them all in matt otherwise it looks totall crap ,also the white shows up ever little defect on the boat

well guys ive been experimenting and have totally repainted the stripes with semi-matt colours and the finish is way better,also the plans on the hachette plan is different to the picture that we got with issue 1 lol,however i am sticking to my measurements as it looks fine ,although there are many conflicting paint schemes i feel mine is a inbetween them all lol
