Ciao all,
here a beautiful and very rare photo of Admiral Scheer on 1943-44 period, when she was painted Dark Grey.
They caption the photo as it is the Scharnhorst :shock: ... but it is wrong, it is the Scheer :D

.. of course you can check on my reference schemes and the camouflages should be listed exactly as those photos shows :D
Ciao Antonio :D

Ciao Leo and all,
as nobody asked anything I thought that the Panzershiffe camouflages were all well known by the most of the persons.
Anyway, here the camo I have called ' M ' for Lutzow on my reference schemes.
The one they painted for Op. Regenbogen probably.
Ciao Antonio :D
Ciao Leo and all,
but you asked an Admiral Scheer one...... :wink:
Here the camo I called ' M ' for Adm Scheer, .. the Op. Wunderland on August 1942.
The other Adm Scheer Norway one ( Op. Rosselsprung ) should be well known as many colour photos are available and I made a model too ...
so I can post it very easily.
But maybe nobody as ever seen the 5 different Adm Hipper ones for Norway ...one after the other,.... :shock:
Ciao Antonio :D
Ciao all,
while I hope that you have liked the camouflages examples, I have a question and request for everybody having information.
On Lutzow and Admiral Scheer the flak and radar was of course modified and updated thru their life/career.
I am referring to the single 20 mm C 30 KM single been substituted with the 20 mm FlakVierlings C38 and later with the 40 mm single on the deck as well as on the top main turrets ( both Lutzow and Scheer ).
Than there was the utilization on the 20 mm single C30 Wehrmacht mounting on Admiral Scheer ( 2 of them ).
Admiral Scheer had also the peculiarity of the platfom been installed back to the B turret between the stairs on the quarterdeck were it was first installed the 20 mm C 30 single Wehrmacht mounting and after a 20 mm Flak Vierling C38.
Does anybody have photos of those installations, either the flak and/or radar evolutions of those 2 ships.
I am just finishing my drawings and of course any addittional information is welcome :wink: .
For reference here a drawing of the 20 mm single C 30 Wehrmacht mounting.
Ciao Antonio :D
