Subject: Re: Aurora & Potemkin colors

 A while back someone on this list was looking for the colors for Aurora and
Potemkin. This is what I have come up with:

 Below waterline - red
 Boot topping -  red with a fine white line between it and the hull color  Hull and up including main turrets, guns, and boat deck - black superstructure, up to fighting tops on main mast, crane, boats, etc. - white
 Funnels, including base, ventilators, and masts - amber yellow
 Funnel tops - black

 Shortly after commissioning, upper parts of masts from searchlight platforms up, including the gaff, were painted black.

 REMEMBER, straight black looks too dark on a model, better to use a real dark gray.

 Hope this helps.
