The before and after on 'Gun Crew'.

Great job!

10/06/2025

One week in the DIY shed here at Swanley - 'Gun Crew' is relaunched with her new paint job in Dazzle camouflage.

Dazzle camouflage, also known as razzle dazzle or dazzle painting, is a type of ship camouflage used during World War I and to a lesser extent in World War II. It involves painting ships with bold, contrasting colors, geometric shapes, and distorted patterns, aiming to confuse enemy submariners rather than hide the ship.
