Here's Rob's beautiful
CG-Scharny. Rob and I were discussing the number of colours on the superstructure, he saw four, I saw three, but I may have had not the photo quality needed. I was going by the number of paints that were available according to the paint regulations*, and since there were not enough grey tones, the lightest of the four tones could have been off-white. I'm still in doubt about that, but with regard to the bow and stern, yes I have seen photos on which these areas are so bright, that I recommend them to be painted white. This would be in line with "known" colours and schemes of other KM-warships of that time in that area.
Happy painting ~ Olaf!
* Those from 1941, since those from 1944 were not applicable in 1943. At least this is what I thought a couple of years ago. Today I'm leaning towards the possibility that they've followed the Dechend recommendations from 1942/43, meaning that they were painting their ships according to regulations even before that regulation had been issued. This further means that they could have used anything to their liking, even paints they may have found in Norwegian paint stores, making it absolutley impossible pinning down "exact" colours some 70 years later.
