Hello again!

Something little for a change: The Samsun-class destroyers, built in France for the Ottoman Navy to the plans of their own Durandal-class destroyers. Four of them were commissioned and fought in the first world war. The colouring is no mad idea of mine; there are preciously few sources about Ottoman liveries, but I found two which claim that Turkish ships were painted in a khaki-ish green during the first world war. I don't know if that's a fact, but I'd like it to be true, because I think i looks cute.

The french original and its various subclasses are under construction, hopefully I'll have some results before the upload thread is closed.

Greetings
GD

Maybe your Green Kahki need to be more "green" & "dark" ?

Did you find the actual formula for the khaki paint used by the Ottomans? Or are you just posting some other artist's interpretation?
