Information

The Royal Navy simplified its camouflage schemes further in 1944.

"Standard Scheme A" was intended for use on all stations including the Eastern Fleet and Pacific Fleet, and its main purpose was to give concealment at dusk and dawn and at night, as well as at long range. The selected paint tones were chosen to suit the sea and sky in tropical conditions such as those in the Indian Ocean, Bay of Bengal and the central Pacific. It was also suitable for both Home stations and the Mediterranean during summer months. It comprised an all-over G45 exterior finish but with a rectangular panel of B20 painted on the hull from the waterline part way up to the main deck. The B20 panel stopped short of stem and stern, which was intended to give an initial deception about the length of the ship to an observer upon first sighting, and thus confuse the range. Steel decks and turret tops would likely be G10. The scheme made no requirements for painting of horizontal surfaces so standard practises of dark surfaces (best for concealment from aircraft) probably applied.


** Colour renders given above are for guidance only - differences in colour space models for physical paints versus illuminated pixels on screen and limitations of conversions between models means that what you see on your screen cannot be used for colour matching purposes. An accurate colour can be found sprayed on each tin lid and within the tin. **

Colourcoats are available in 14ml as standard. 125ml or larger quantities are available on request.

Application Guide - Full Guide Here

Solid pigments and flattening agent will tend to separate from the carrier solvent if sat still for long periods of time, so we strongly recommend thorough mixing before use.

Colourcoats can be sprayed with a suitable airbrush or brush painted. When brush painting multiple thinned coats are recommended with sable brushes.

The recommended thinner is Colourcoats Thinners specially formulated for superior drying times and reduced odour. If necessary Colourcoats can be thinned with  standard quality solvent thinners or cellulose thinners for rapid drying.
