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

Great work, DG! Looking forward to the 'never-built' Hippers!

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.

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"

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.
