I have purchased the MiniArt B-Type Lorry and the Resicast QF 3 Pdr gun and I am trying to figure out the vehicle colour of this singular RNAS armed lorry. Would I be wrong in assuming it was a dark RN grey? The 3 Pdr gun appears to be a light grey.
This observation is based on the contrast between the RN uniform with the vehicle and the gun. Any help or comments would be appreciated.
I chose to do the truck in shades of grey and the naval gun in a darker navy grey. Honestly it was a guess and nobody was able to help, so best guess only.
Please see below I took some rather bad photos of the build and final creature. The best of luck on your model and I would be happy to see the finished product.
I have a quote from an unknown Landships author with the following:
"Armoured cars used by the Royal Naval Air Service in 1914-15 were generally finished in a light or medium shade of naval grey. An exception was the Royal Marine Artillery Anti-Aircraft Brigades Pierce-Arrow armoured cars (with 2pdr. pom-pom AA guns) supplied in 1915; these were painted Daimler khaki-green, in accordance with Admiralty specifications."
