81542 The solution lies on the wing swivel mechanism, the swiveljoint is not at the corner of the wing, but maybe 1/4 from the edge and there's a folding piece of wing. The flaps on the wing are in down position, which also gives more room. This arrangement moves the wing closer to fuselage. You can see the folding flap resting on top of the wing (lighter colour).

Further to the matter of PRINZ EUGEN's Ar 196 having folding wings. There is a photograph in Profile Warship No 6 by one of her former gunnery officers Paul Schmalenbach, Fregattenkapitän a.D, of one of the aircraft suspended from the crane WITH WINGS FOLDED. There is also another image on the same page of an Ar 196 sitting above and clear of the hangar opening, without wings. This image can be found elsewhere on the Net. I cannot imagine the Germans not shipping at least one of the aircraft onboard without its wings attached and hence, folded. I would not have fancied trying to attach wings to an aircraft on its catapult in any kind of seaway. It is possible that the aircraft shown without wings may have been the "spare" usually stowed in the after end of the hangar, this image may have been the subject of an evolution about which we know nothing.
For further interest, there is also a silhouette sketch of the aircraft stowage arrangements in Schmalenbach's Profile and he also describes how the hangar roof operated in the ship.

Well, I do know about her May 1945 camouflage, but while it certainly is an interesting one, I am not so fond of it. Thank you nevertheless, there are one or two pictures on the website that I do not remember seeing before

She actually had a very interesting camo at the very end. No need to create a fictional one, unless, of course, you want to. https://ww2db.com/image.php?image_id=27133http://www.bismarck-class.dk/admiral_hi ... _1945.html
