Outstanding work on the details, Kurt.

Fred - I am very glad to know the name of the green color, but am curious as to who Monteccouli was. I can't find him, although there was the famous condottieri (and Hapsburg military commander) Raimondo Montecuccoli, after whom the Italian cruiser was named. Different folks?

Don

How about Rudolf Montecuccoli, chief of the Austro-Hungarian fleet 1904-13.
Responsible for modernising the fleet before WW1.

Regards,

Charlie

The green was considered effective in Adriatic conditions. However, after the war started, they went back to a more traditional gray.

Lawrence Sondhas wrote two excellent books that cover the history of the KuK navy, The Naval policy of Austria-Hungary, 1867-1918, and The Hapsburg Empire and the Sea, 1797-1866. They are not hard to find.

Gentlemen,

Thanks! I have this kit and was wondering about the color scheme. The important thing for me, though, is the clear coverage of the casemates. JSC was not clear in the Goeben's instructions.

Hello !

The four spacers are equipped with wire by template and distributed on board.
The bollards as well as the tops and spill are mounted on the rear deck.
Six loading winches as well as the grommets and anchors placed at the bow.

Kind regards
Kurt
