I always think that a shame. You see it a fair bit in Youtube videos too. Some immensely skilled and dedicated modellers, but they just follow then instructions and end up with inaccurate colours. Which is a great pity.dick wrote: Thu May 14, 2026 1:57 amI see that the Trumpeter painting instructions call for and illustrate a fairly light-toned overall "neutral grey" paint scheme above the waterline. Examples of completed models are now appearing on-line following those instructions painted in that sort of tone of grey and they look wrong. The tone is too light as a representation of Home Fleet grey which you can see in my photos of the Devonport model posted above. Trumpter should have specified a darker shade of grey.
Anyway, hope some quality super detail sets emerge soon for Royal Oak and Resolution in 1:350.
