I always thought the decks were dark grey until I saw a model with green decks. Now when I look at photographs, I can see the green. So what color were they – green or grey? Thanks in advance! |

Green in the 70s, although dark grey was being introduced at the time. So all the new gas ships were grey, and some older ships transitioned during refits. |

FWIW in my Falklands collection all the T21, T22, T42 and CVS have grey decks, RFAs are grey, other RN have green decks with grey flight decks |

OK, I was painting a Blackwood for Cod Wars. Have a Tribal and another Blackwood on the way. |
