MagisterMan Posted July 15, 2021 Share Posted July 15, 2021 (edited) Hi everyone! I have recently started Trumpeter's HMS Zulu conversion to HMS Tartar (with all of this amusing bow, funnel and mast corrections and lots of stuff from Black Cat and others) and got stuck with the colours. HMS Tartar had an unteresting scheme which I have never seen on other RN destroyers, but it looks a bit similar to what HMS York used to have in 1941 So might it be 507A and 507C then? Help would be much appreciated 🙄 Also what do you guys think, are the guns painted in that darker colour as the camouflage spots on the hull? Or only some of them are? TIA!

MagisterMan Posted July 17, 2021 Author Share Posted July 17, 2021 (edited) Just found a fascinating picture of HMS Fury and HMS Ashanti wearing the same scheme as mentioned before (if only the number on the hull wasn't changed somehow). Might the colours of Fury's Western Approaches be the same as those on Ashanti and therefore Tartar?..

Our Ned Posted July 17, 2021 Share Posted July 17, 2021 (edited) This photo (actually reference no A10306) is one of a series (A10296-10318) taken from HMS Faulknor during exercises on 29 June 1942, available on the IWM website. This was probably the workup for some of the escort force prior to convoy PQ17. Edited July 17, 2021 by Our Ned Added a sentence 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robgizlu Posted July 17, 2021 Share Posted July 17, 2021 Nice scheme - for my money 507C hull and superstructure including guns with 507A Cammo patches and Black pennant numbers. I think the gunus and forward bridge sueprstructure are just iin shadow. Rob 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
