Looking to make a model of HMS Electra on the last assignment in the Java Sea 1942

August 05, 2010

Hi,

I am looking to make a model of HMS Electra on the last assignment in the Java Sea 1942 and cannot find out what colour scheme she may have worn at the time  I am thinking it was dark grey all over but I may be wrong .

Would you know or maybe have more info on this topic ?

Would be grateful to have a response from you ,

John,

See URL:
http://www.pacificwrecks.com/ships/hms/electra/hms_electra_side.html for a 1941 Photo which I am not able to copy for you.

But her paintwork then looks dark grey to me, and of course it was in February of 1942 she was sunk.


Electra pre war.

Regards,
Mac.
