Wondering about Hood's colors at the time of her sinking. Aside from the deck colors, was she light grey or medium grey? I've found no photos suggesting any camo patterns or unique coloring, but I've only performed a cursory search. Any info out there that I'm missing? Thanks! |

It was a medium-dark gray, which you would presumably adjust to fit your table and lighting conditions. IMHO, the actual full-scale color would be too dark for a small-scale model viewed under indoor lighting conditions (i.e. scale color issues). Also, try the HMS Hood Association, here: hmshood.com Mark H. |

Hood was in overall AP 507B Admiralty Medium Grey, with steel decks painted AP 507A Admiralty Dark Grey. Bridge decks may have been covered in Corticene. |
