[quote="gardenfriend"]Hello!

I just bought a plastic model kit from Mini Hobby Models.
Its the german Battlecruiser Gneisenau, scale 1:700.

There is no painting scheme in the box!
I have no idea how to paint all the parts.

Can someone help me?

If it's a copy of the Tamiya kit, then it represents the ship in 1939/1940, IIRC.

Hull would be Dunkelgrau 51
Superstructure would be Hellgrau 50
Steel decks would be Dunkelgrau 2
Wooden decks would be teak

You can find matches to these paints in enamel from White Ensign Models and in acrylic from Model Master.

Hi, :wave_1:

It depends on which timeframe you would like to show the ship. Do you have any model paint ? Or is it your first attempt ?

which time period does the model depict the ship in? or otherwise, during which operation do you wish to model her?
