crew uniforms anno 1941-45
« on: January 17, 2009, 05:11:52 pm »
Got some figures to paint for a flower class corvette, yes the revell on in 1/72. problem is i'm thinking the painting directions, are more that likeliy to be for Canadian and or US crew, as the Bluebell instructions are scratched from the Revell plans. I'm doing a Royal Navy one Maybee BlueBell, maybe not.
Could any one here either point me in the right direction, or even better post a picure of some properly painted ROYAL NAVY flower crews?

This is what they really looked like. This is the CO - an RN Lt Cmdr - of HMS Peony (K40) while on convoy duty in the early part of the war. It's from a book called "One Eye on the Clock" by a RNVR lieutenant, Geoffrey Willans, published in 1943.
