Hello, I'm going through the internet looking to find out what colour the Bismarck should be painted and it seems everyone have different ideas. I'm just confused does anyone know ALL the colours i need with any paint company...Tamiya...RAL..etc. I just want to have all the paints i need for the boat
If anyone has a link where i can buy them please post it, i would greatly appreciate it..Thanks for your help

I'm currently building the Trumpter Bismark.
I painted the deck the suggested Tan colour as recommended in the painting guide that comes with the kit and does not look anything like correct to me. In fact I've given up with painting the deck and purchased a wooden overlay set from Past Time Hobbies in the States, which in IMHO looks far superior.
Plenty of images available on the web showing the many different paint variations the ship went through during it's operational life, a lot of which is un confirmed.
I will be building mine in this colour scheme which I believe was how it looked soon after launch, but who can say for certain? :-

AlanT, Yours looks brilliant, If mine comes out half as good i'll be happy. Can you post some images up, close up ones, the sad man that i am, i could look at them all day. lol...Thanks Alan

Not mine I'm afraid, just an image found by  Google....I've just got to fitting out R/c equipment stage, prior to fixing main deck into position.
