Give me a few minutes ;)

Remember Glam has still a way to go yet and Rick is very busy at the moment so the pics of her are about a year old as that was the last update :)

Hi Andy..

I wish I knew how to make em RAS mate. As it is, I don't even know how to make traffic files in FSX.. I'm completely reliant on our Ben. The 3 in the shots above never really get very close to one another so it's impossible to get them all in shot with any great detail. I suppose I can try and add an 'air cfg' to one or t'other and sail it in close *-) I'll see what I can do ;)
I think Rick has had another go at Glamorgan recently (since seeing Intrepid/Fearless) but needs to stay focused on the Jetstream or he may never finish it :lol:

Tks for that Ben :)

To be fair any difference in the shade of gray can be put down to paint batch number and how long it's been out of refit....

Quite a bit of difference in the colours, The third ship in the 1st pic is the HMS Montrose.

It is Dave. Its a tricky one. I think Glam might be too light (or too shinny) and Fearless good still brighten up a few shades perhaps? As Skip says, trying to get good colour shots of them at the same time is tricky. :)

I scoured the net trying to find the correct colour. The info I found said RN ships since '68 are painted BS381C 676 Light Weatherworks Grey.
Looking here the swatch shown is RGB 160, 176, 176, which is what my Fearless is now painted in.
As stated, there would be batch variations, weathering etc. *-)
