Well, some time ago when I gathered data to model my coasters I recall finding this:
Peacetime
War
That's Earl Sigurd, cute Orkney steamer not much larger than puffers. Unfortulately I have no actual photo of wartime version, but according to German modeling site it seems to have been repainted into grey camouflage. Perhaps the site owner could be contacted for sources...
