Yes , thats right tommy, like I have said , white is a hard colour, the hull will have 4 coats of paint before it looks right, the camo on this side is not quite right , there will be some correcting in later posts.

do you paint white on white--or are you priming with grey first?
I have had similar issues trying to get white to look ' dense '...
Intrigued!

Looking very nice!

I really like the paint scheme, I've always been a fan of "Western Approaches" camo.

Dave asked for a view of the deck, as you can see I have also fitted the handrail stantions.
