It's a little to hot to paint today.
So here's a little insight into,or rather the inspiration for the colour scheme .

An excellent choice.

Should look great!

Second the colour scheme choice 

I heard it's 35 degrees there at the moment?

So, the upper color down to the 'overhang' that ends in the wing ornamentation?

Again, works for me!

Ouch! We're not unused to such temps here mid-US, but it's been a bit early, to my way of thinking.

My sympathies!

Mark.

Is that a red waterline just peaking in the photo? Are you going to do that too?

Duke of York? Should it not be BoatyMcboatFace?.....or EtherFlyerMcetherFlyerFace?

We'll I've managed to get the base coats on,and that's about it.

As for the limits of each I'm still in two minds. Either to have the Tan colour stop at and included the horizontal rivet strip above  the portholes ,or continue it down to the middle rib/rivet strip.
( I'll knock up a couple of drawing to see which works )

As for the water line definitely,it will be on the middle rivet strip. The top1/5th (ish) being white and the lower portion of the strip being red.
The lower hull and underside will be a darker grey.
I think if I did it a red lead. It'd probably end up looking like it should be in a dry dock.Also there's alot of red in the merchant pannels.
It's going to be brightened up with the navigation pannels and heraldry, so the rest of the ship can look a little more drab.

After putting it together its more.
