Hi guys,
I recently acquired the SS-model 1/700 London kit. It's in late war fit and beautifully printed - crisp and clean.
However - for those who are sticklers for absolute accuracy - it is off scale, the hull is approximately 1/2 cm or more longer than the Trumpeter and corrected Aoshima kits. Also, the freeboard is noticeably lower (though London had overweight issues after reconstruction, so maybe that's not too bad?) and the deck forward of the breakwater is printed as wood planking rather than steel.
In any case, It will build into a great-looking model.
But question: Does anyone have any ideas as to what colours she wore in her post-1943 refit camo scheme as per the photos below?
MS1 is there almost for sure, plus B5, MS4 and MS4A maybe?? (Pure guesswork on my part).
I know 1945 Eastern Fleet is G45 with the B20 hull panel. Easier to do certainly, but I'd like to use the disruptive camo if feasible.
Any help would be much appreciated!
