HMS Zulu...need some advice:)

Post by IvanYuen »

Hello folks,

I just got a 2nd hand 1:96 HMS Zulu (Deans Marine) RC model.but since the dull colour scheme applied by the previous owner, I'd like to repaint her.

Here is a photo of my friend's 1:96 HMS Zulu, does it looks too colourful or it is the correct scheme for her? :scratch:

When I "googling" the web resources, I can't find any colour scheme for HMS Zulu, are there any HMS expert could give some hints for her? Thanks!
:smallsmile:

Regards,

Well the hull might be right but the deck green is way too green and the forecastle and hull anti fouling should be red lead.

I'll dedge out a photo of my tartar and post it, she is in the right colours.

First i have to work out how to add a photo.
