Hello folks,

Can anyone advise the colour scheme (or schemes) used by the RN on the BPBCo MASBs, in early WW2?  Many thanks for any help.

Late war with added gun armament:white undershadings on grey background.Early war :All over admiralty grey,see MASB32 on this forum.Both with all black antifouling and dark grey decks and horizontal surfaces.Early pennants black with white borders,late-all black.If you hit the www button below you can see 2 models of MASB32,one in 1/72nd and one in 1/16th.Ignore the red antifoul and yellow safety equipment,they just make a drab model brighter and are not correct.The late war boats would have looked more like the model of MTB 494.

Hi

The photo of the MA/SB above was one a 7 that was given to by a ex crew member a few years back when all my models were at the openday at the trust in 2001

www.hslmouldings.co.uk

See webite for model of MA/SB37 painted the same as the photo, I have other MA/SB photos that show the same and early MA/SB for the IWM collection.
