beefy66 Posted October 17, 2017 Author Share Posted October 17, 2017 Hi Geoff You have eyes like a hawk I did not use the lifecolour paint for the green it was a modified version of the Huron colour I used but as you can see I dropped the proverbial Bo@^*K Trumpeter colour chart does not show the correct RN codes to use so in my wisdom I used my own idea of what I thought to be right and got caught out by Jamie again must try harder it used to say in my old school report I know why now beefy 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamie @ Sovereign Hobbies Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 Don't be so hard on yourself Keith - you knew not to trust Trumpeter's painting guide for starters 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bugle07 Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 (edited) The builds looking great, and as you said, colour can be a can of worms! I'm still putting off my Niad as I'm not sure of the colours on her. Really not sure of the flyhawk recommendations, but that's a whole other bucket of worms. Crack on! Great stuff so far!

Darby Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 Looking forward to this one. Never seen a Monitor done as yet. Did the PE come with the kit or separate? As for that jar of jelly beans; did you manage to recognise the '36 gourmet flavours?' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darby this is an OOB build all PE came with the kit very good review by SHAR2 in the maritime review section the kit is a little out on some details but looks good to me As for the Jelly beans the only thing I got from the jar was a sniff when they were finished by the younger members of the beefy family beefy 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
