hi guys. I posted this over on the warships forum, but haven't got anything on it, so I thought I'd post here in the hope someone knowledgeable might spot it.

Does anyone know where I can find paint schemes for British WW2 battleships? Specifically HMS King George V. I have the Revell kit and instructions are rather basic.

Hi David,

I already gave you an answer specific to KGV over on the other board, but in answer to your question here, the best available references for Royal Navy ship camouflage in WW2 are the 4-volume series "Royal Navy Camouflage" from WR Press. We stock all the WR Press books, and you'll find them available on our secure website.
