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 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.
