Are these different to the Hazchem signs carried on railway wagons?

Me too, and that may be an understatement.

The Cartograf decals in the 2026 re-issue have the correct BR logo.

That's a different page from the first link. Now I can see it.

All I see is a general chart. In the opening statement it refers to HMS Hood, so this is a general chart for all ships, not Nelson in particular.

The link shows nothing. No explanation of which colour(s) she wore at any given time.

First issue 1983. The Alpine divisions were self-contained units with their own artillery, engineers, and ancillary services. A division consisted of HQ (388 men including an anti-tank platoon), two regiments of 4757 men each, artillery regiment (1710 men), mixed engineer battalion (341 men), chemical warfare company (234 men), two reserve battalions (766 men each), supply services (including, medical, supply, and transport, totalling 1500 men). An Alpine Regiment had a HQ company including a platoon of flamethrowers, three battalions (1267 men each at full strength), formed of three companies (340 men divided into rifle platoons, a machine gun platoon, and a HQ company), and regimental services. Each regiment had firepower as follows: 27 heavy machine guns 81 light machine guns 17 40mm mortars 12 81mm mortars 27 flamethrowers The supporting artillery division consisted of two 75mm howitzer batteries, each of three four-gun troops, transported on pack animals. One battery with each regiment.

The Alpini are now completed.

Thanks @beefy66 and @bootneck PMs inbound

I painted highlights to the flesh. They were then given a sepia wash. The bases were brush with Dark Earth. Just a Matt Varnish required to protect the work done so far.

Excellent! thanks @Mr. Church

Not much more to do on these.

Doesn't actually say what colour(s) Nelson was in at any time though - could be any.

I was hoping to find a list of Admiralty colours here. Can anyone help?

Things like the flowers are not aimed at existing modellers, but are a response to young parents who have fedback that they want non-warlike subjects for their children - a new market. We will see whether they have gone too far to pull them, or not.
