Wonder if they have taken a leaf from the Canadian Halifax class Frigate Regina same as @JohnWS is currently building in WIP

Those camo schemes are a lot more interesting to look at than just plain grey.

 

What's old is new again.  :yes:

Given the angular style/shapes I wonder if the inspiration is more the Swedish? 

Swedish camouflage

Apparently the scheme is homage to WW1/2 vessels and is not designed to be tactical with all members of the River Class OPV due to get schemes

 

Peter Hall has announced on FB that he'll be producing a model though doesn't state which scale - 1/350 I hope.  He's asked for expressions of interest, I've submitted mine

 

Interestingly I took the darker (non black) colour to be a blue shade initially though looking at other photos, it is in fact a shade not dissimilar from 507A/Home Fleet grey.  Another reminder how sunlight can distort colour!
