rafterrat_2005 Posted November 18, 2014 Share #1 Posted November 18, 2014 I really need some guidance on the colors used on the Victory, I've searched countless places and can't seem to find any. I am wanting to detail all the exterior of the ship fore and aft correctly without getting all of it wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AntonyUK Posted November 18, 2014 Share #2 Posted November 18, 2014 Hi Cornwall model boats have a set for the Victory. http://www.cornwallmodelboats.co.uk/acatalog/admiralty_paint_sets.html http://www.cornwallmodelboats.co.uk/acatalog/admiralty_paints_water.html This is also the compleat list.

mtaylor Posted November 18, 2014 Share #3 Posted November 18, 2014 Do a quick search here on MSW: keywords: Victory Color or Victory Colors. There's a couple of topic in this forum that address the color as well as the kit forum and the research areas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Izzy Madd Posted March 11, 2015 Share #4 Posted March 11, 2015 I too am desperate for help with the colour scheme as most of the other Victory makers won't share. I've got a list of colours on the box if you want it. Heller 1/100. Just PM me ronald305 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtaylor Posted March 11, 2015 Share #5 Posted March 11, 2015 I thought the HMS Victory website had a page for modelers including a paint list. Hmm.... I'm not finding it.... And there is this: http://www.model-space.com/gb/paint-set-hms-victory.html I don't know how correct it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbshan Posted March 11, 2015 Share #6 Posted March 11, 2015 Model Expo has/had a set. If the set isn't available, the paint numbers may still be good. http://www.modelexpo-online.com/product.asp?ITEMNO=SM23MS I have seen the current yellow color compared to cheddar cheese, but as with cheeses, paint colors of that time might change according to what source was used for the pigment as there is variation in the minerals ground up to make the paint color. The official website calls it 'mustard'. Recent work suggests the yellow may have been paler than the current. http://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2014/mar/17/conservationists-discovered-colours-admiral-nelson-flgaship Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
