Thanks James but the point was whether the darker of the two colours (the lighter being 507C) could have been "1941 Blue" according to Mal Wright rather than 507A. Mmmm...

I am unaware of any vessels painted in overall B5.

I'm not saying they didn't exist, but if one is claimed to have existed I would expect to see strong supporting evidence for that.

Hello Ship Modelers,

I've just received an Atlantic Models 1/350 HMS Gorleston kit and have a quick ask if the darker colour for the vessel (a Banff Class ex USCG Cutter) as indicated by Mal Wright - "1941 Blue" (B5?) is credible, rather than the 507A given by WEM/Atlantic Models? One wonders where many of the colour call-outs in that book come from.

Cheers

GrahamB
