Title Royal Navy World War II Ship Colors, Set #1
Publisher Snyder & Short
Format Paint chips on heavy card stock
MSRP (USD) $20.00

Snyder & Short Enterprises have released the fourth in their series of WW2 Naval Paint Chips. This installment covers another area poorly documented (at least on this side of the Atlantic) - the colors used by Royal Navy warships during World War 2. This set come on two sheets, with a total of 22 paint chips (!!). With this many colors in Set 1, I can hardly wait to see what Set 2 covers!

These paint chips are a must-have for the warship modeler. They fill a significant void in the color references and I am looking forward to the growing list of offerings! I will continue to share future releases with you as they become available.

Set 4

You may order your chip sets in the US from Pacific Front Hobbies, Floating Drydock, The Modeler's Boatyard, Colpar Hobbies, Research In Scale, Antheil Booksellers, and Accurate Image Models; in Germany from Christian Schmidt; and in the UK from White Ensign Models; or directly from the author/publishers at www.shipcamouflage.com.

My sincere thanks to Snyder & Short Enterprises for this sample!
