 Post subject: Bismarck model paints
PostPosted: Wed Nov 11, 2020 1:24 pm 
Hi,
I’ve spent hours reading forums but can’t quite find what I’m looking for. Lots of links seem to have expired now. I’ve bought a Tamiya 1/350 model of Bismarck. Building it doesn’t daunt me but I’ve read that Tamiya pints aren’t very accurate.
The instructions list 14 different paints. I’m looking for a suitable alternative to Tamiya paints please. I’d like to try acrylic having used enamel in the past. I’ve not built a model for years but did lots as a child.
I don’t have a spray gun nor do I want the expense if I can help it. Maybe there is a spray can colour available for the hull and superstructure?
Thanks in advance

Lifecolor makes a set of Kriegsmarine paints that are suitable for Bismarck: https://airbrushes.com/product_info.php ... ts_id=2844

That set will suffice to depict Bismarck during the her final/only operation. If you want to depict the Baltic stripes, you'd need a black and a white as well. You'd also need a wood deck colour.
