Painting the hull, before attaching to the base is the correct way to go the camo lines are straight & need masking to get right....................
You can just about see the difference between the two lighter colours, on the bow, but there's not a lot of difference between Admitalty MS 4 & MS 4a! I'm going to give this a gloss varnish coat & add the hull decals, it's just easier to handle. I'm going to add as many deck fittings, like bollards, as possible & paint the deck dark grey, before adding any deckhouses, funnel, armament etc. The camo continues upwards onto the superstructure, following the straight lines from the hull - looks like fun.............
