HMS Hood 1941

Post by plasticman1 »

My next build will be the HMS Hood (1941) Looking for an answer on upper hull and bridge colors..... looks like British ships were painted in one color, almost like a dark grey. Anyone have any suggestions on what color to use?

Thank you! :wave_1:

The overall colour in 1941 should be a medium grey known as AP507B. White Ensign Models sells paint matched to this, or if it isn't your thing you can try to match it yourself. More info here, including paint samples for the various colours:
