A whopping 40 parts. Eight are deck cleats, Five are the hull halves, two deck pieces and the conning tower.
Hull, deck and conning tower are together and primed. Yeah, yeah, yeah...pics later. Not much to see.
But, colors? I’ve been looking online and see a myriad of different colors. ... from a light gray, to almost black. Dark gray decks, to deck tan. Red below waterline, black below waterline, and on it goes. Any help?
Steve, what would you do with the tint guns, periscope, etc. I get they would be topside color, but what type of rust, if any.

Maybe in a day or so. Visualize an empty paper towel roll with a hump.
