Dragon 1:700 Bismarck
Posted by Andrew Sergi on Tuesday, June 24, 2008 3:17 AM

In a nutshell, I am having trouble deciding on a color for the super structure.  After looking through dozens of references, I have narrowed it down to what seems like 500 different shades of light grey :-P.  I have decided to take a break from tall ships for now and want to get into super-detailing a 1:700 kit to mix things up a bit, so any tips at all are greatly appreciated.  I'll put pictures up as soon as I get progress for extra help since so many have built the Bismarck in so many scales!  Thanks alot for you're help, I really appreciate it.

If you wish for exact matches of Kreigsmarine paint colors you can find them at White Ensign Models. These paints are an extremely fine enamel. Some hobby shops and the Testor's online store may still have in stock the now discontinued Model Master's marine line of acrylic paints matched to the Kreigsmarine colors. WS

I completely agree with Dreadnought52 about the WEM Kriegsmarine colors.  I have never been satisfied with any shade of gray for the Kriegsmarine until I discovered WEM products.  By the way, have you seen the photoetch set for the Dragon 1/700 Bismarck by Eduard? Check it out . . . it is amazing!
