Help with German Fast Attack Craft

Posted by Dieselkid93 on Saturday, August 4, 2012 10:54 PM

I have just recently bought the Revell Germany Fast Attack Craft "Schnellboot" and I'm trying to figure out the paint scheme and need some advice on what colors are what. The instructions aren't user friendly.

Find a copy of SCHNELLBOOT IN ACTION. We talked about that in there.

According to what I have read the bottom should be black, not red. WEM has a Schnellboot white that will be correct for much of the topsides. I'll check my sources and get you the other two colors you need.

In WEM's Colourcoats line of enamels the colors you need are KM 10 Schnellbootweiss for the vertical surfaces; KM 12 Blaugrau 58.1 for the horizontal surfaces; KM 05 Schiffsbodenfarbe III Grau 1 for the underwater hull. Warship hobbies has them in stock.

Hope this helps.
