This Zebra stripe disruptive camo has been tried on everything...Boats, Planes, etc
I've seen stuff in WW1 up to WW2...
not sure of anything after that, but I wouldn't be surprised.

Not sure why they keep trying it, because it apprently is dropped after every test. lol
If you ask me, I think it would be terrible for the crew.

If the paint scheme was just on the outer Hull, it wouldn't be so bad, but to paint
everything on the deck like this?
It would be very confusing just trying to navigate your way aorund the structures!

Can you imagine doing months at sea on this boat? haha

I have found three or four different PT Boats with a similar form of the Zebra stripe Disruptive paint scheme.
I have also found a couple of scale plastic kits painted in the same fashion.

No two seem to be alike...maybe each was a handpainted experiment?
And I can't find multiple angles of the same Paint scheme.

So...just to clarify, I am not claiming historical accuracy with this rendition.
I picked one of the designs I have seen and used it,
and I am using my best guess on everything I can't see in the photo.


I wonder if I should give the crew stripes?
