23rd MTB Flotilla Painting






I'm starting on the three Vosper 72.5' MTB's over the next couple of days and may even get them painted and based if I don't get side lined, so I've been doing a trawl of the internet for photographs that I can use as a guide. There are a few interesting and relevant articles out there, including a brief overview on the Warlord Games Cruel Seas website, so I have some idea about how to go about painting the models. The camouflage scheme used on these boats was the typical mid-war white hull and upper works with B15 grey blue decks, so nothing too complicated and relatively quick to do (I hope?)

  1. It sort of looks like the boats have the light blue-grey camouflage lines similar to the 1942 design shown in the following image
