Unfortunately, the Kriegsmarine did not use the RAL system, so any RAL notations for Kriegsmarine colours are only someone's estimates....

Tip:-
Always wear camouflage when posting Steamboat, as there are snipers and rivet counter Police around. :police:
Thank you for the information, which I find very helpful for my Bismarck build.
Cheers
John

Yup i remember that yorkie but I'm used to people not liking what I do and i dont really care  :-) as the Bismarck build gives you ral numbers i thought this would go down nicely for people who dont have access to them

as with all forums it is only someones point of view you still can decide weather you wish to follow their advice

Title: BISMARCK PAINT TYPE, QUANTITIES, SUPPLIERS ETC
Post by: Skidmarks on April 02, 2010, 03:19:36 pm

Have painted hull with a Humbol 'primer 1' grey acrylic aerosol spray and just finished the main mast but feel that to use an aerosol on that will not give a sufficiently fine spray for such an intricate part and no doubt lots more the same!?. So, have lashed out on an airbrush but cannot get a 'primer 1' in the Humbrol 12ml range, just a #64.  Seems to me I will be using lots of 12ml tins so do you know of a UK suppleire of larger than 12ml tins of acrylic paint please?
