Why is this model of the Austro-Hungarian battleship RADETZKY painted green in the picture link below? Was this normal for AH Navy/Kuk ships?

Hello,
Yes, it was normal. The AH Navy operated mainly in the Adriatic sea where the great part of the coastline is green and even the water has light blue-green color. It was a good camouflage, thus the AH Navy gave up the Victorian style camo as the part of its modernization. I think this article will be useful for you:
