Unlike the picture sourced above, the Airfix painting guide doesn't show the standard RAF/FAA fin flash in use. I'm minded to use it anyway!

And I did, adds a welcome splash of colour. I also followed the above profile, but deviated from the painting guide, by roughly painting-out the "Royal" of "Royal Navy" above the port and starboard serial codes.I also applied an interpretation of the two schemes to create the camouflage pattern, as the Airfix painting guide showed the same pattern on both port and starboard sides, which seemed inherently unlikely, as well as being contradicted by the overhead view. It is also worth noting that some of the painting instructions given in the course of the build are different from those parts as shown in the painting guide, for example the bomb racks and rocket carriers, which are both 85 Coal Black according to the instructions, but 90 Beige Green (approx Sky) according to the painting guide. The kit comes with a torpedo and its impedimenta plus two extra rockets, and so is a useful source of spares.
