An interesting article here: http://unusual-encounters.blogspot.com/ ... George%20V.

Blue, Green, Gold and Red so far noted.

Also, don't forget the red telephone kiosks and the green ones too. They're easier to paint than the glass monstrosities they replaced that were forever getting shattered by vandals in urban areas.

Well I visited Hobbycraft this morning, and having read, also this morning, in the financial pages that Hobbycraft have had a tremendous time during lockdown, it was fairly obvious from my visit that everyone has been buying Tamiya paint! The shelves were empty. I ended up buying a tin of Humbrol Gloss Red Enamel - it will do.
