    So you're thinking more like Canada but with black strakes underlining the gunports rather than the blue "top and bottom"?

    So far, this is the only good (using that word loosely, admittedly) reference I've been able to find for Majestic: https://www.stephensandkenau.com/ship/hms-majestic/

    If possible, I'd like each of my nine Turner 74's to have a uniquely identifiable but historically as-accurate-as-possible scheme, like Canada's green beakhead or Captain's blue one, or Majestic's all-yellow gallery. IF I can ever get these four to a point where they pass community muster (masking is impossible at this size and the tremors don't help either) I'll post a detailed paints-used list.

    EDIT: Ganges, Culloden, Tremendous, Invincible and Minden all now primed. In the absence of a true primer, 862 Black Gray seems to work better than 950 Black.
