HMS Repulse

Post by Lance »

Hi,

I have a question about the camouflage of the Repulse.
Which dark color is it? Black or 507A Dark Grey?

Black, but for modelling purposes I'd use a very dark gray (darker than 507A).

I used black on mine as well.The instructions called for a dark shade of blue.I'll get back to you on which color as I can't recall it right now.I went with black because I didn't have the correct shade of blue and because a lot of better modelers than me chose black as well.
