Bought Erich's Trafalgar when he first posted it for sale. Was hoping to build it and sail with him at the next SubFest, well sadly that will not happen, so this build is done with Erich in mind.
I am going to do this one as the HMS Trenchant (S91) in the color scheme that the sub only had on for a short while - in 1999, the blue dazzle dazzle camouflage.
The only reference photos I can find are these:
Not sure if the photo above was the Trenchant or another sub or if it was when the paint was first being put on. I will assume it is the Trenchant.
This next photo was shared by a gentleman that worked around or on the Trenchant. He mentioned that this color scheme was for more tropic or Mediterranean regions, but never got tested in those waters. He also mentioned that the paint they used did not last long at all.
