Good evening fellow modellers
We have had a busy week at Sovereign Hobbies, which is going to mean some positive changes in the not-too-distant future. More on that in due-course ...
In the short term, we have initiated manufacture of 3 new colours:
ACRN34 WW2 Azure Blue
This colour is matched to the colour chips endorsed by the RAF Museum at Hendon within the book "British Aviation Colours of World War Two - The Official Camouflage, Colours and Markings of RAF Aircraft, 1939-1945" published by Arms and Armour Press ISBN 0-85368-271-2. This book is regarded as the reference for wartime British aircraft colours.
ACUS33 WW2 US Navy Non-Specular Sea Blue ANA607
ACUS34 WW US Navy Glossy Sea Blue ANA623
Theses colours are matched to this reference's painted colour chips:
The existing ACUS07:
... was analysed against the reference material and Federal Standard chips, and proved to be an excellent match to ANA606 Semi-gloss Sea Blue but ironically not, as they are labelled, FS25042. Consequently, ACUS07 is renamed as ANA606 and we will shortly produce a brand new FS15042 match for modellers to use on Korean war type schemes.
