The railings should always be a correspondingly darker color than the camouflage.
Even though it's a US ship, here's an example:

Note how having the railings colored a similar color to the camouflage produces a much more "harmonious" effect.

These are quite good but some points. Please note that the rails should be painted in a different shade of the color used on the structure behind it, to conform with SB standards. I also like to see the underwater hull place back in the drawing. Most importantly welcome aboard. |

This version of the Dido class was done by Kim as HMS Diadem, and I think he may do HMS Black Prince.

That's a nice one. You might want to consider adding an underwater hull to the ship. |

Not sure what to do with the railings colour wise, dark or fairly pale. I have a Black Prince which needs to be modified a bit more. https://dl.dropbox.com/u/92662532/CL%20 ... 201943.png |

Yip, only Naiad & Phoebe had the green/brown/white from completion until sometime early 1941. Phoebe's pattern is less striking, with less white. youboat PS I think thats the Black Prince done. |
