Dick, you are correct.
FFG, if there's a specific CASF thread for KM torpedo boats I didn't see it in that forum. Point me to it and I'll be glad to redirect.
EDIT: Thanks to Martin, here we are on a new dedicated thread.
Closer reading of what's on the WWW makes it very probable that all type 35s were rebuilt with the new bow in early 1941. T3 had been sunk at Brest in 1940, but raised in 1941 and rebuilt. Based on the work to be done as shown here
I expect the bow mod would have been done as well.
So, wartime schemes for the Flyhawk kit are limited to 9/39 to early 1941. I have the excellent Leon & Asmussen "German Naval Camouflage" volume 2, which has several color profiles of type 35s in that time frame.
