maltadefender Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 Evening all, Does anyone have a clear idea of what the paint scheme would have been on Upholder in her pomp please? I've seen/heard that green over green is possible, also blue over red or all over one shade of blue-grey. I would very much like to pop my little U-class in for the current Mediterranean GB but have never reached a conclusive answer on her appearance. Many thanks in advance for any thoughts! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graham Boak Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 Check the colour PB10, which I believe is available from Sovereign Hobbies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice to see it again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Graham, thank you for the mention. PB10 isn't actually directly available, but going back to WEM days John Snyder provided a formula for mixing PB10: https://www.sovereignhobbies.co.uk/pages/paint-formulae PB 10 A deep blue worn by RN submarines operating in the Med: Mix equal parts of ACRN 31 Oxford Blue and US 27 Norfolk 250-N Flight Deck Stain. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
