Im gonna be doing a little fun project, a USSR destroyer Provornyj (smth) which is basically a captured Z33 Germany 1936 destroyer. Question is what paint schemes were used on soviet destroyer at the time?
1) Deck - orange brown
2) Hull - dark gray with blue tint?
3) Boot topping - thin white line and wide black line under neath?
4) Antifouling - red or green?
5) white pennant number on sides (confirmed)
6) off white canvas on some railings (confirmed)
Thoughts?
Any color reference for post WW2 destroyer of USSR that would give me a good idea in which direction to go? Was there big difference in paint of gray ww2 destroyer vs post ww2 destroyer in USSR? I allow that they had huge variation in paints due to availability etc but I wanna get basics right i.e. dark or light gray, and red or green antifouling paint, basically.
Here is the ship in question that I will paint:
