Very impressive with the 'birds' on the deck :yes:. Can I ask, what was your rational behind the sea colour as I'm scratching my head over my own quandary?

Hi stuart 

                   Watercolor,I have noticed that in harbours or close by, that seems to be the colour in around U.K. "Humbrol 86." is what a use.

Looks really good to me; the sea round UK very rarely looks “blue”.  North Sea largely brown, greeny-grey further West, kind of slate coloured in the Atlantic.  Med & Pacific are definitely the classic “sea blue”, but in general our weather doesn’t lend itself to the same!

Hopefully this will be an improvement,mixed some grey and white,quick repaint.Have to order more decals to finish of the tail.

That US Marines F-4 looks absolutely spot on now Chris, and as Stuart and Crisp have said, the sea looks just right too.
