EwenM Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 Greetings from not so sunny Devon. Just started modelling again after a break of 45ish years (isn’t retirement wonderful!) having just completed a Revell Lancaster that had been languishing in its box for 4 years I’m now just starting a Trumpeter HMS Exeter, struggling with some of the colours so will be needing some advice! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The paints are enamels, which as a returnee probably won't be a problem. and welcome to the forums, one of the best model forums online, with an exceptional knowledge base (eg see above...)

Corsairfoxfouruncle Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 Hello Ewen... from Chicago. Troy has already pointed you out to Jamie so i can skip that. Jamie is really one of the best I've come across for that research and information. Dennis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamie @ Sovereign Hobbies Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 Hi Ewen, I'll be happy to help on colour advice when you're ready. I have a build thread on the go presently for Exeter here ... and there has been a short thread discussing the colours worn during the Battle of the River Plate here: Welcome to Britmodeller 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EwenM Posted March 16, 2019 Author Share Posted March 16, 2019 Thanks to everyone who replied to my original query on HMS Exeter colours, Jamie at Sovereign has put me on the right track, just itching to get going once the paint arrives!
