Is anybody building the Will Everard ? I have it on order through Billing. I’d love to hear about your building.

Welcome to SOS Peter.
You are lucky to have photos of a model of her made in 1925 on the RMG Collections website that may come in useful.

Thanks Alan, I want to get the paint scheme right. Is the colour in the box correct?

Hi Peter

What colors are on the box? There is no picture in your post.
The paint scheme colors are in the description on the RMG Collections website. Unfortunately whoever wrote the description might be color blind as it does not match the photos of the 1925 model.

It looks like the kit designer came up with their own colors of the hull and sails compared to the 1925 model at RMG Collections. Check out the original model and description on the museum website to see the differences. The kit colors do not match either the original model colors or the written description colors, but maybe the kit guys had better information than the museum. Based on the inconsistency on the website it is obvious they are not without errors. If it was me I would go with the colors on the museum model, but it is totally up to you.

Alan, that’s my feeling as well.

Alan, I wish to paint my model in the colours it was during WW2
