I personally like the new colour. Are we allowed to follow suit with our Kriegsmarine and Kaiserliche Marine ships?

Okay, once again thanks for the comments.

@Colombamike:
Thank you for pointing out those issues, those photos you added will certainly help, I'll make the changes when I have the time.
A couple of questions:
-I can try to add something like camo-nets, but I don't really have a reference on how exactly those were originally deployed. The photos only show the ship in the damaged state.
-You marked the radar platform on the second mast, I assume you disagree with the shape/form?
-You also marked the barrels on the upper 40mm flak. Is this only about the barrel elevation?
-The comment about 'house camo' on the 3m-Rangefinder house: The photo shows camoflage pattern, yes, but isn't this the front view? There doesn't seem to be camo on the side.
My worklist
Any help and source material is always welcome.

This has been a remarkable series! Excellent work on some of the most beautiful cruisers ever built!

I agree with you, draw camouflage is very hard
but sometimes some are very "courageous" :mrgreen:

Hmmm, maybe, but forget it
Sometimes I'm too extreme/meticulous.

Look here various critics about details

Your drawing lack maybe others very small details such as ladders, life-rafts & portholes, but I am not a Expert in German ships

But good work, your drawing is "remarquable" ;)

Hi, it is my first time here. Some postwar photos further clarify the 'house-camo' pattern of both sides, in particular FOUR windows on the starboard side of the stack and one further window depicted on the 3-meter Rangefinder house.
