OK well at the start of my build I asked the very same question.
A club mate advised that Renault Royal Blue is used by most so I used that. He went on to say that the cream colour is a subject of differing opinions so I ended up with Rover ARUM White


All the red is simply Hafords red primer with clear satin lacquer. The D on the deck was Broom yellow
