the main reason for the "antI fouling" paint [and its colour] was because the baot it was applied to was stationed in sea water and moored in the water. Any boat either returned to slipway or trailer was painted white as it was not necessary for the hull to retain antI fouling paint as the boat was not kept in water.
It all depends on your specific boat and where it is/was stationed. if its a slipway station , then it keeps the white hull. ▲

It is traditional to paint the lower half of slipway launched boats white. When the Tamar was introduced the lower half was antI fouling red ( almost shocking pink). Cromer's boat (16-05) was changed from red to white. Barrow's boat was the first one to go on station with a white hull.

the windows are also plastic on the speedline but made up from many sections and then I sprayed them with silver spray but they are very realistic I must say

The Melcalf Mouldings boat is astounding but the window frames are plastic to be painted silver when I get there. Yours look like they're made out of metal.

I came so close to buying this kit but at the last minute I found the Alice Upjohn Lifeboat by Metcalf Mouldings and went with that. I'll follow your blog to see how it goes. I think this will be my next.
