Thank you, guys.
Glad to hear that
There were a few more slightly different mods but I'm not really going to draw them all. Unless, of course, I find out more about the camouflage measures they used; then I might actually end up depicting every cutter of the class at a different stage of their careers with different warpaint and armament... A man can dream, right?
Anyhow, I'm definitely drawing their latest conversion of 1966.

WhyMe, beautiful work!

You wanted the Spencer's starboard side camo?

As for what measure, it looks like Measure 12 Modified or 32

Thank you, nighthunter!
I think I've found all the pictures of these cutters ever published on the Internet Unfortunately, they are all black and white so without a word on the exact measure I don't even know what colors to use. I'm gonna keep looking for more info.

Ah, thanks a lot! Now I just have to give it a shot, don't I?

Here's USCGC Hamilton as in 1941. Her darker shade is supposed to represent the "Measure One" camo scheme.
Sadly, she was torpedoed by a German sub and sunk near Iceland coast in 1942 becoming the only war loss of her class.

WPG-36 Spencer as she appeared in June 1942.

The colors of the camo pattern are rather speculative; although based on the Measure 12 as I found out that it might be an early/irregular version of Measure 12 scheme.

Reference 2

WPG-32 Campbell as in 1940 before sailing to Portugal. This is probably the earliest modification of the Treasury class when the seaplane was removed and a third 5"/51 gun was installed instead. The 6-pounders on the bridge were replaced with a 3"/50 gun and another 3"/50 was mounted aft on a raised platform.
