ETO Cruiser

[Talon]

Here's 2 paint schemes for the a_cruiser for ETO.One is in Measure 22 scheme- Blue up to lowest point of deck,Gray upper surfaces,Deck is blue.
I think I might lighten the hull because I feel it's to dark,I usually blend it more to the ocean color.

Measure 32- Usually Dull Black,Light gray and Dark gray,but sometimes only 2 shades of gray.Deck is Blue and Gray.

Let me know which one you like best.

Talon, I think Measure 32 is better. It doesn't stick out as much as the other one.:d

Ditto. On my LCD monitor the colours of the other seem a bit unreal. Thanks for doing the schemes, Talon! I am enjoying the ETO ships, esp with the new flak 20s, 37s, and 40s.

I usually use a different blue for the Hull.The one in the pic is the navy blue which looks more black than blue.I normaly use a sea blue which blends better with the water.From actual color pics I've seen in the 1943 to the end of the war the ships seemed to be in the lighter shade of blue but that may because of fading.The one in PTO is sea blue.I like the gray myself for ETO.

Talon, the Sea Blue does look better than the Measure 22, but I still like the Measure 32 best. It seems to be the lest visible against that sea.
