: the kit calls for the mushroom vents to be painted,
: top black and bottom rust color ,in photo's they look like they were painted white to macth the hatch covers.
: if anyone can help on this it will be nice good titanic
: model building to all.
The mushroom vents probably rust red/brown on the bottom half with white tops. A picture of the Olympic's can be seen in the book Titanic At Two showing the lighter coloured top. If you make the flanking high and low fairlead rollers beside these mushroom vents, they should be black. If you build the mushroom vents that sat aft of the forward well deck cranes, they should be the white/rust red combo like the other ones. Cheers, Mike
