I am using red and yellow ochre, along with dull black, I bought them on line at cornwall model boats, If you have not already seen James Choi's build it is well worth a look. Google building surprise james choi.

Hi, Ive just received the De Ag Victory paint kit. The paints are by Admiralty and are all 18ml, with 14 bottles as follows:

3x Dull Black
1x Matt (Metal) Black (good for cannons)
1x Matt White
3x Yellow Ochre
1x Red Ochre
1x French Blue (perfect for grand cabin exterior)
1x Olive Green
1x Wood (Walnut)Brown
1x Gold/Brass
1x Copper

They come in a nice box and are all waterbased. These colours are used by Admiralty Paints on HMS Victory in Portsmouth, so their provenance makes them applicable to British warships of that period, including Surprise. Best of all, the whole lot costs £25 inc delivery from the De Ag shop. I have looked at another supplier, and the same item, with delivery, costs £37.50!!! So, theres a bargain. Be prepared to wait, they took three weeks to get to me, but well worth it!
