The lower hull paint was a common industrial anti corrosion coating used on all sorts of architectural steel and ironwork. We in the UK called it 'Red Lead'. As the name implies, it was lead based; modern health and safety deems this to be toxic, so it isn't used these days. No doubt the lead content didn't encourage marine growth.

Its RN anti fouling Red - its supposed to be almost like a mix between flat Red and Brick Red.

Per, the boot line in real life would have been about 8 feet wide on Battleships of that tonnage.

The 'Boot Topping' looks fine to me. The 'Read Lead' shade is also very convincing, though in real life it would look a bit redder when first applied but would oxidise to a shade like yours.

Nice paint job, but I have a question regarding the waterline,
with the scale you are working with, the waterline seems very wide to me - is that a camera angle creating this illusion or is the waterline that wide in real?
