Hi there . After looking for info on some camo for my M.35 minenesushboot (boote?) , I have found one included in a Heller kit. link link link Problem is , It appears that it employs a 3-tone scheme (light grey , médium grey and dark gray9 or a 4-tome one (the 3 shades of light , mediun and dark gray) , a few splotches of White . Or perharps it is a 4 color pattern , with 3 tones of grey and black?? Which one would be the correct one? Are there any references out there for camo patterns for this class of ships?? Thankyou in advance .

The basic official scheme for the Minensuchboot would be the usual light grey sides and lighter grey upper-works (with a dark grey deck). Most of the Camo patterns were, I think, local variations used to break up the light grey. Google seems to show lots of plain (official) schemes and several variations on the one in your first link. Cheers David

Yup , but that is not a M-35 type , more likely a M-40 or M-43… One of these days I´ll have to upload a few pics of my camo'ed M-35… And a few more of the rest too…
