Graham Boak 7,079 Posted January 3, 2020 Share Posted January 3, 2020 Look on Sovereign Hobbies for the correct paints. There is another thread running in which the Ark's camouflage schemes are discussed, in which Jamie of SH describes which paints to go for. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Our Ned 156 Posted January 3, 2020 Share Posted January 3, 2020 (edited) The "other thread running" discusses the colour schemes of the Second World War ARK ROYAL, not the ship represented in the Atlantic Models kit. Edited January 3, 2020 by Our Ned Link to post Share on other sites
Graham Boak 7,079 Posted January 3, 2020 Share Posted January 3, 2020 Apologies for not reading to the end of the title. I suspect that SH will still offer appropriate paints. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Mike McCabe 134 Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 There are paint recommendations in the instructions for the Sovereign Hobbies Colourcoats brand Charlie. Mike 2 Link to post Share on other sites

Hi Chris Great work,i am just starting the ark royal build and found when i was pairing down the hull that is has slight banana bend, did you experience this and if so was it detrimental to the build?

Chris Hewitt 1,994 Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 hi No my hull was straight,you need to straighten the hull ,it will become noticeable at the end of the build,you need the submerge the hull in hot water and apply pressure to straighten it out ,this might take a couple of goes.
