I have an important question. I'm going to close the gunports on one side. But, here's the question: should the ports be painted black or the same color as the hull (ochre)? Caldercraft recommends painting the ports black. The HMS Victoria's ports are actually black. On the other hand, I've seen the ports painted the same color as the hull on several older models. Can anyone give me some advice?
