Ok some pics of Alanb`s model Sub.
trafalgar class, i beleive HMS TRENCHART.
a new build on with a sheerline kit.
Alan done some research and found an experimental paint scheme which was used on the real boats .I think it really makes the boat stand out ( and it`s a bit easier to see when submerged) .

Adz,
Didn't I see a sub with exactly the same paint scheme on Ebay only a week or so ago? It certainly makes a change from the overall black. | |

| | Hi I'm New | Yes you are correct, it is the same sub that was on Ebay.
After seeing it sailing etc I just could not part with it.
The model is actually based on HMS Trenchart, with an experimental paint
scheme, for which I believe was for use in the Med.
It does make the model stand out from the normal black.
Credit must go to Sheerline models for a fantastic submarine kit. | |

| Very nice model and excellent pics too, that colour scheme does help it stand out in the water very well too.
I wouldn't want to part with that either !!
