Not sure what the capacity is, but they are the same size as those found on Zerstroyers.

What color should these rafts be painted?  I assume it is a light grey, but I am not sure.  I am building a Prinz Eugen and am getting ready to work on them.  thanks,

hey were only 9 ships, their guns were mostly old 15cm secondary guns from deactivated warships and a mix of AA guns and even some antitank guns, their lines were not gracefull,  none of them passed the 20 knots mark, they had no armor or like submarines the ability to dive for safety.
