I am collecting data for my next model of 19. century puffer or coaster.
There but appeared a question about antifouling colour too.
As I read, the basic colour should be a pink antifouling. When saw some "old models of puffers" at photos from Model Exposition 2007 in Paris(Model boat mayhem gallery), I did not found this colour there,but red lead oxide colours mainly. I believe that pink colour can be more proper than red lead oxide etc for 19 century ships, which is (as I believe)question of the late 20.century mainly.
A friend of mine wrote , he was painting his steel boat wit such pink stuff (when in London in sixties).
Can you add some words about this matter?I put this question on <ships nostalgia >forum ,neverheless I´m expecting some more answers here too.Click here =>

here I found some words about <salmon pink antifouling>,but for US ships mainly(??)But I am not sure what pink hue this colour should be anyway. As a enclosure I put photos of cardboard model of Inchcolm puffer by Richard Noakes from Perth.
Thanks for help. Tom
