Ralph Currell Posted 24 November , 2008 Share Posted 24 November , 2008 Those diagrams are helpful, but be aware they were only intended to show the camouflage pattern and are not accurate depictions of the colours used. The actual paints were called out on the diagram by names such as No. 4 Grey, No. 2 Olive, etc. Olympic wore two 'dazzle' schemes during the war. The first is shown in the drawings and photos above (probably from late 1917 to August 1918), and the second was a striped pattern (August to end of 1918). A painting of this pattern can be seen here: http://www.vac-acc.gc.ca/images/youthcorne...t/full-ship.jpg Regards, Ralph Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ralph Currell Posted 3 December , 2008 Share Posted 3 December , 2008 Chris, Olympic's camouflage comes up from time to time on the Titanic Model forum at http://titanic-model.com/dc/dcboard.php?az...s&forum=100 . A search for the keyword 'dazzle' should yield a good deal of information. Regards, Ralph Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
