1:100 Tirpitz in Tarn 43/44

[Bullitt]

so nun aber

from the second Picture, is that camo on the A Turret over the triangle?

Thank you

[Baunummer 509]

I think: yes.

But Antonio will give you a definite answer. 

Und nicht die Rohre vergessen!

[Bullitt]

ich denke auch ja...Rohre lass ich nun so, allerdings am Vormars muss das Grauweiss etwas schräger....100%ig exact wird es eh nicht - Dafür sind Bilder von Tarnzeichnungen etc. zu verschieden - man/n sieht es immer wieder anders, gezeichnet und gebaut bzw. gepainted - finde meine TP so wie sie schon jetzt ist, dem ehemaligen / realen - ziemlich na und prima so - hoffe ihr seht es auch so

Hello everybody,

@Bullit,

I knew from were you got the camo infos, ... my release of 2004 that is the only source available so far  .

Moving to your photo and question :

YES, that was a camo scheme she had too on the A-Anton turret sloped front part.

Same thing was also on the D-Dora turret as photo shows.

But you may have noticed that it was associated with the gun barrel colouring too, ... horizontal half gun barrel.

OK for the 3rd bow anchor " modeler license " ... I often do the same on my models, ... for some details I love as well as some colours too ... because I like it ... and it is my model ... than is ok for me.

Have fun doing your Tirpitz model .... 

            Bye / Gruss Antonio

Hai

I'd like to ask a little off topic question regarding this Picture tirpitz-102 in #44 (in my Forum settings - maybe 45 or 43 in other settings). I think we had a discussion around this issue times ago but as i remember with no satisfying result.
I know the rangefinder of turret A was removed long time before this picture must be taken - so what is this thing looking like the rangefinder and its housing at the same spot at turret A?
Something at the turret B Barbette?

[Antonio Bonomi]

Hello everybody,


@ Jorg ( Teddy Suhren ),

part is the B turret barbette and part si teh upperworks behind  B turret, you areright as the effect is like the rangefinder still there ... but it is not true of course.

I take the occasion to show you some Tirpitz models  7 + 1 on going ...  scale 1/350 with photo etched partes, ... her full life in technical evolution and camouflages  ... from commissioning February 1941 until November 1944 ... enjoy ... now I have to paint them all ...     

         Bye / Gruss   Antonio

Wenn du sie bis zur nächsten Flottenparade in Glücksburg fertig bekommst, bist du mit der Tirpitz doch dabei, oder?

@ Antonio - Hello Antonio, i found today a Original Photo from the Tirpitz on E-Bay - i have never seen!! I found a forgotten important camo spot!!!

...und bei meiner TP gleich angewendet und das Bild schon auf alt gemacht 

[Antonio Bonomi]

Hello everybody,

I see it and you are RIGHT !

Beautiful photo, very sharp !

That is NOT the ONLY change I will make on the next release I will do of the Tirpitz drawings and camo, there are many more changes to make on the Tirpitz schemes and camouflages I have released on 2004/2005 and are currently the level of knowledge available outside about this warship.

But since I was stolen of a lot of information about KM warships,  ... I am NOT going to release for the moment all the changes I already know about.

Bye / Gruss Antonio
