2025年3月14日 · 507 C is a very light grey often mistaken as white. I have been told that white was not used on the RN capital ships during WWII. I'm really glad to see the sovereign hobbies paint list for Rodney. (Unfortunately I can't access Colourcoats in Canada, which is a shame as it is some of the best paint I've ever used.
