Obviously this can throw up some problems if I do not have the paint in the make suggested, e.g. I am happy to go along with the suggestions given by the kit manufacturer. I am not one for going down the 'exact' colour route when it comes to painting models, whether they are aircraft, boats, military or otherwise. There are other Britmodeller members who could give you a more comprehensive advice than me though. My kits were Airfix, not FROG so I don't know if there are any differences. I believe there are errors in the camo pattern in the Airfix instructions regarding the December guide. Re colour scheme for Repulse, is it the Airfix guide for Humbrol paints you need, and if so May 1941 or December?įor May '41 the instructions say Hu64 for the hull and superstructure, Hu73 for the antifouling below the waterline, Hu71 for the wood decking and Hu31 for the superstructure decks.įor December '41 the colours stipulated are the same but add Hu79 to the hull, superstructure and foc'sle deck also. And yes I believe she carried a single Bofors on the quarterdeck. Also I don't know if PoW carried those UP launches on the turrets that are molded in the KGV kit. Gidday I'm no expert on this but I believe that KGV was the only ship of the class to have an external degaussing coil so you'd have to remove that molded on to the KGV hull if doing PoW.
