hello fellow modelers 

I have started the A.L Bluenose II and as i have done more and more research i am wondering if i should go "off" instructions and actually paint the hull vs the mahogany strips.

I did purchase the "Bluenose" paint package from Model-Expo though i am even unsure if its for II or the original. neither here or there I can always use the colors that came. 

 

In the instructions it says to paint the upper hull Black, why not Blue? In the pictures it sure looks blue but never mentioned in the instructions to paint it blue and why would you its already black, DUH.

So my question do i go for the Red Bottom and Blue upper and keep the strips for later project or is it one of those "Either Or" decisions. 

 

Hope everyone is having a great sunday.

I have a Bluenose 1/96 scale Bluejacket kit waiting on the shelf. That said I have done some research.

Here she is bing build. The actual colors are black and red. Bluenose is a term for the Nova Scotians not the color of the schooner. It’s a deep black. I would go with the colors in the paint kit. Both the original Bluenose and Bluenose II were the same colors. Enjoy 😉

2021 should be a great year to go to Lunenburg and visit the Bluenose II. It's the centenary of the launching of Bluenose. I'm sure there will be lots of extra celebration (and probably extra crowds too.)
