I used a 4:1 mix of Polly Scale "Yellow-orange" and Testors MM "Wood" acrylics for the bee lines.
The black is Floquil "Grimy Black" enamel.

For all of the detail you could ever want in a model of the Victory, look here:

There is a web site for the Victory, showing some nice pictures. One needs to take care in depending on the specific color shade colors appear on web page images, but they certainly can show where the basic colors are applied.

Sorry I do not have the URL any more, but I am sure a google search would find the site.

Or do a google image search to just find as many images of the ship as possible.

Bee line is a slang term for the yellow bands painted across the gun ports.
