British Destroyers 1942, what colours?

[janschu]

Hello,

for the next SIG-Waterline Community Project "Anchorage Scapa Flow 1942" my contribution will be
three destroyers.
1. WEM HMS Milne, build as HMS Musketeer (see picture)


2. Niko Model ORP Piorun, build as HMS Nepal (see picture)


3. Niko Model ORP Garland (see picture)


So, what colours are to be used?

1. HMS Musketeer(sides): "Admirality Disruptive Scheme"? (MS1, MS2, MS...)
(decks): G20?
2. HMS Nepal (sides): sources say, 507A, B5, 507C "Admirality Disruptive Scheme"
(decks): sources say G20
3. ORP Garland (sides): weird colours, some kind of "Western Approaches Scheme"?

Thanks in advance and greetings from the North Sea Coast, Jan

I doubt the accuracy of the Niko interpretation of Garland�s scheme. Here is a picture of her for you to compare it with.

I would suggest that the colours were RN white, WA Blue and WA Green with the darkest panels being the WA Green. These colours do sometimes look a little darker in photos, something to do with the film itself someone once told me.
