Royal Navy WWII Ship Colours , Set 3

By Bob Pearson

John Snyder and Randy Short have done the ship modeler and artist a great service with their range of accurate colours from the world's navies. This time around it is Royal Navy WWII Ship Colours Set 3.

Colours on the two card set are the 1943 variations for B55, B30, B20 as well as G45, G55, B40 and then there are 14 other colours from specific ships, including: Honeysuckle, Rockingham, Montgomery and one of the more spectacularly coloured Flowers - HMS Burdock. Burdock was painted in YELLOW and blue while in the South Atlantic in 1941, and HMS Alisma was similarly coloured.. How accurate are these colours? Well. ... the chip for the RAN's "Chicago Blue" was matched to the stir stick that one gentleman saved while mixing the paint for his ship.
