Wow! Those look great. I have some info on German E-Boat camo schemes and will see if I can post it.

Lemmey,

OK, finally got some sunshine so I was able to take some pics from a couple of books I have on the Kriegsmarine. Also, this link should be of some help as well.

Here's the photos - not great, but may be of help.




Note: this one appears to be a mid-blue and a red brown on a white or very light gray.


Photo of the boat above.


No color for this one, but appears to be the same doodles as the previous on a light gray hull and then a white doodle under the blue and brown.






From my research, this seems to have been the most common scheme - over all white. it was deemed the best for night time! But not much fun for doing models - give me the colorful schemes!!!!









Also, if you can find it I highly recommend the book " Arnanstriche und Tarnanstriche der deutschen Kriegsmarine" by Bernard and Graefe Verlag. It is in German, but the photos have English text,and there are some color photos, some color art work showing various camo schemes, and a set of color charts.

Hope this helps!

Thanks Terry, I just downloaded the old Revell colour chart for mine, as there's is based on the channel where the bumph i read claimed the Germans didn't feel the need for camo! The Baltic ones had all the fun painting I guess! ;)

Went to see the railway artillery once at the Aberdeen proving guns - and saw the BFG.  ;D

Yep, was at the museum at Aberdeen many times back in the early 60's. Then almost everything was just overall spray painted in a red rust primer. They were still neat though! And also saw Annie!!!
