This product is designed for modelers who expect not only perfect coverage, but also authenticity in recreating the historical paint schemes of British warships.

The RN Light Mountbatten Pink color directly refers to the famous shade used by the Royal Navy during World War II and the early post-war period. This shade was mainly used for camouflaging destroyers, patrol boats, and smaller vessels in areas with limited visibility, especially during the famous Channel operations. The idea behind the Mountbatten Pink paint scheme was to make ships as difficult to detect as possible against the setting or rising sky and during fog—it was an innovative and widely recognized element of British naval camouflage doctrine. Example ships using this color include HMS Arethusa and HMS Kenya, which operated in both the Atlantic and the Mediterranean during World War II.
