I'd like to know what colors people recommend for painting up the Cold War era, and modern Swedish Fast Attack Craft, especially the Spica I and II (Norrkoeping class for the latter – sorry, no umlauts on my keyboard, and I can't recall the codes for them)?
Vallejo, or other color reference numbers (from any manufacturers) would be greatly appreciated, if anyone happens to know any of those.
They use a lighter and darker green, a tan or sand color, and a faded brown. From some photos I've seen, depending upon the time of year, and/or operational theater, the tan/sand color is dropped for an even lighter shade of green on some vessels.
Here's a pic of a couple of Norrkoepings in the foreground, and a camo'd Spica I in the background (most photos of this one are usually in the standard, overall light gray color).

Also, I'd be interested in some closeup starboard and port side views of the Spica I, in camo, if anyone knows of any on-line, since discerning the pattern on the one shown is difficult due to the dark image, and distance to the vessel. Those are much more difficult to find than the later Spica II models.
