Skywave MTB set colors

Post by Sr. Gopher »

Hey everyone!

I need to know what colors Vosper MTBS, Kriegsmarine(I think, don't know the spelling) S/E-boats, and USN PT Boats were in the 1944-45 timeframe. Preferably WEM colorcoats, Tamiya, or Testor Enamels.

Also, the color scheme of USN minesweepers would be welcome.
Current builds:
Hobby Boss 1/700 Type VIIC U-Boat for my AH

Planned builds:
3 more 1/700 AH submarines

Hi Gopher,

Colourcoats references in parentheses:

Vospers--G.45 (RN 14) and White (C 03) on the hull, Black (C 02) underwater hull, B.15 (RN 15) on the deck.
Schnellboot--Schnellbootweiss (KM 10) on all vertical surfaces, Schiffsbodenfarbe III Grau 1 (KM 05) on the underwater hull, Blaugrau 58.1 (KM 12) on the deck.
PT Boat--use MTB Green (US 26) overall, with US 14 on the underwater hull, unless you want to paint one of the camouflage patterns.
Cheers,
John Snyder
