Just thinking aloud here - but if anyone wants to pitch in any comments would be appreciated
I have found myself a little unsatisfied with the plain grey skins I have been doing
As I was so impressed with Maddy's new destroyer skins, I tried the blue/grey colour he chose for the hull of his new DD models, gives it a bit of something I feel my neutral grey might be missing
Check it out
I feel it gives it a bit of contrast that the flat grey model is lacking in
Then again - the flat grey non contrast may be just what they were aiming for - makes you less of a target
I am sure I read somewhere that the IJN started using the blue/grey paint, but cannot find any references to non IJN units using this colour
Then again - and especially with shortages as the war dragged on - maybe the ships just got painted with whatever happened to be in the shipyard at the time?
How do people feel about me using the blue/grey instead of the flat neutral grey for the hull?
Or - I could make two grey options - one flat neutral, the other blue grey?
