I finally managed to get a 1/3000 model of Otranto for my Coronel game and now haven't a clue how to paint her. All the pictures I've seen have been black hull with white superstructure and black funnels…I think, but if course the pictures are all in b&w.

Anybody got any suggestions?

The wartime picture on her Wiki page – link – seems to indicate that she was painted gray. Other pictures of her wartime service seem to indicate that paint scheme as well.

I painted her grey, as above.

Looks like gray to me.

Another vote for grey.
