Sealink ferrys Ailsa Princess / Antrim Princess looking for British rail blue colour
 
Hi, I am looking for photos of the above ferrys, anything profile, on deck shots. As I want to build a model of these ships depending on the information I pick up.
Also does anyone know the blue hull colour, i.e. RAL, BS. paint code number as its an unusual blue colour.


original British Rail colours, I believe that the hull colour blue was the same as that used on rolling stock when the carriages were blue with grey uppers or all blue

I think they used the british rail blue colour

Two manufacturer's produce BR Rail Blue, Railmatch and Precision. From my memories of the Isle of Wight Ferries it weathered very quickly.

Thank you very much, i am going to build a sailing model of the above ship. So I am trying to match the paint colours.
Thanks again
