1/72 Revell Flower Corvette

Hi everybody.

 

I have a Revell corvette that I started back in 2013 and I have decided that this year I am either going to finish it or throw it in the bin.

 

This is where I got to before shelving it -

I have a question regarding the colours for the munitions. As far as I can determine, the depth charges should be a light grey, the shells for the main gun should buff and the squid mortar bombs should be dark green. Can somebody either confirm or correct this?

Hi Steve J

I agree with Bandsaw Steve  - to throw it in the bin would be sacriledge:worry:

 

Nice paint job on the hull.  What paint did you use for the Western Approaches Blue?

 

If you look at original pics of corvettes - the Depth charges come in a variety of colours including dark ?grey or green.  I'm not certain anyone is going to contradict you

As to the Hedgehog charges ?? once again they seem to come in a variety of colours, certainly from this well known pic - they don't appear obviously dark green.....

Vallejo 70.906. The white is a 20:1 mix of Tamiya white and light grey.

 

I have a feeling that that light coloured hedgehog bombs in that photo are practice ones.
