Just a heads-up folks, so say that Dave Manley of Small World Models has outright copied the color guide from our 1/350 HMS Trenchant kit for his 1/96 R/C kit, right down to the ship's crest and notes at the bottom of the page. The only change he made was to delete the color references for our Colourcoats paints. We don't appreciate having our copyrighted research ripped off, and will be taking appropriate action. For those interested, his color guide (complete with the British spelling of "Colour") appears in this review:

Hi John

Perhaps that could have been easily avoided if been asked for...
And since he used your artwork/painting scheme the least he could have done was to keep it in it's original state (including Colourcoats codes)!
Now the s*** is going to hit the Fan!

Bad luck
