Miniatures Union Navy's Ironclads

[usnhm1625]

Here are the others I've scratch built. Union Navy's ironclads. I need to update some from when they were created. So they will go back to the yards for refit. Man I miss my days of being underway.

The different colored turrets, the yellow, the red, the green,etc. Are the colors for your own use or did the Navy really paint them like that?

Yes, they we're painted like that to identify the vessel. I followed a post thread here on the site. This is the post from 2015: https://civilwartalk.com/threads/colors-of-the-ironclads-and-gunboats-what-is-known.110859/
