Yellowed Heer, or dirty Kriegsmarine M-40?

Nice Apple Green paint on the shell .
I thought when the slant of decal was mentioned that the ships were rocking when kreigsmarine were applying them !

Ok here are some natural light pictures... It would be great if someone stating their opinion tell me why they draw that conclusion as well. Not that I dont believe you, but I am here to learn.

Looks like a Kriegsmarine Helmet, with a WW1 Shell, i'm not so sure though :S

[Nathan362]

Definatly not WW1 its an M40

[Normandie]

judging from number 5 (Picture) it looks like a WW1, but the last two pictures here I can see it's a m40 yes

Where on earth did you come up with a WW1 helmet type shell, its an obvious M40, and ive got to agree it looks like a toned heer, these toned decals do cause a lot of upset, i always understood that KM , under a loupe, revealed flakes of gold, deep rich in colour and the toned heers were caused by an oxidation of the outer lacquer, can this be substantiated, or perhaps a pinned thread, showing side by side Heer and KM decals would help to sort this problem out as its constantly surfacing

Well, under a loop it is very gold looking. Its hard to capture in a picture.

A toned decal will look toned under a loupe as well ;-)
I think the pictures capture it well as a Heer.

Here's a toned Heer my collection (different maker)
