I built the model based on the real steel. One that survive of 12 ships and becomes a playground monument in Surabaya, Indonesia.
It seems the color is not right, I'm still looking for it. Its difficult to see the deck detail, there is no permit to climb the ship.

- hehehe.....they used Avia Green paint for weather protection. Some say that tropical green is the right color as you suggest.

- The ship is surrounded by trees and buildings.
No reference books, only some drawings at:

And the result is.........tadaaaa

- Is this the original color scheme?

- Not enough details been added.
