Hi Simon,
Thanks for the review. These arrived a bit late for me. Any chance of re-sizing the pics - they are very small?
Cheers
Al

Hi Jim,
Many thanks. Am I right ion thinking a greenish/black would have been used on the lower hull?
If so Nato Black would be a better finish for me.

Hi Al
It is an Anti fouling green, It is a bit greener than it look's in the pic. closer to the green on the colour chip on the box top.
I beleive vessels such as the Mas boats had black below the waterline, (Much like RN fast coastal craft) and the green was used on destroyers, cruisers and the such. Although the colour profiles I have of Battleships tends to show a red.

I ordered 5 of the six paints in the set from Der Sockelshop, (skipped the "anti vegetativo green ), and bought the weathered black from the Lifecolor railway weathering set as well for the underwater hull of the MAS. The Rosso Mattone is a beautiful red for the aircraft ID markings on the bow.
