It seems I'm a bit late, but I recently discovered that the real HMS Victory was repainted last year as part of her ongoing restoration. Check out this video for a comparison:
Her new paint scheme was derived from forensic analysis of wood samples that revealed the "true" colours she would have had around the time of the Battle of Trafalgar. Compared to the yellowy-orange and black stripes we've all been used to for the past few decades, the new cream and black paint scheme with a brighter red around the gunports looks very striking. Apparently it was a little divisive at first, but personally I kind of prefer it over the old colours.
As such... I thought our own model of the Victory could do with a new coat of paint.
The new textures and HEX-edited hull model are available here: VictoryRepaint.7z
The hull GM goes in RESOURCE\MODELS\Ships\HMS_Victory, and the textures go in RESOURCE\Textures\Ships. Be sure to make a back-up of your original Victory files if you want to revert to the old paint scheme!
What do you think of the new colours, both on the real ship and the in-game model?
