Don't go down that path !! :o
              Next you'll have to add the Bismark ... then the Tirpitz ........ then a yellow rubber duckie.

                         then there won't be any room for you in the pool at all :icon_nif: ;D

Best I can recall,,,  yellow rubber duckies are about 1/6 to 1/10 scale.  Perhaps add brown and green camo to the yellow.

Yeah, nice to back again with the REAL modelers, not the quacks !   Since this kit is really more of a toy, I decided to paint it rather garish...sort of like a Corgi toy from the 60's:

Dazzle camouflage from WW1 on the rubber duck. Yeah, that's what I'd do.

What about a cannon in the mouth of the duck like the one from "Batman Returns" ?   ;D

You've got an artist's eye, Mr Cthulhu (be careful, he may want it back)!

I really like the bright colors!
