thanks

does anyone know the rafts color? In gallery I found a few zerstorer. The rafts were in many color like: gray, green, yellow, brown, light brown, deck tan - for me sth like XF-55. And north star are producing black PE rafts. So which color is correct?

In some navies the liferafts and boats were painted the same as the surrounding superstructure colors - even when the pattern was split into two colors. Can't verify if this is true about WWll German craft, though.

This is a good looking build. Watching with interest!

Nice build. What PE set are you using for her. I've never seen anything like that build up for the TT. I want to compliment you on your PE work by the way, very nice and clean.

I'm using BIG ED. I bought them a couple months ago when it was available.

I'm waiting for the chains. Probably I will have chains in the next week. When I get chains I will start painting so I will be very gratefull if someone check color which I chose

lower hull - mix vallejo flat red with vallejo hull red or mix tamiya xf -7 with xf - 9
upper hull and superstructure xf-20
waterline and funnels top - xf-1
dark grey deck - xf-24
wooden deck - xf-78
brown on the boat - xf- 79
rafts ???? any sugestion

On polish forum one guy told me that xf-55 will be good but in my opiniom rafts should be in different color

preparing for painting

I'm gonna swing from the chandelier

In eduard instruction there should be railings around torpedo tubes but

There are no railigns there

and first PE cable reel with line.

To be honest second. First on graf spee were very ugly, disgusting. when I was building graf spee I decited to glue plastic

biegacz90 · Post by **biegacz90** » Sat Sep 26, 2015 5:14 am

guys help

left (1x1,5) or right (1,1x1,9)

for me left is much better

robertmelvin · Post by **robertmelvin** » Sat Sep 26, 2015 6:59 am

I agree, the left chain. The right looks somewhat overscale.

Nice work!

Bob

biegacz90 · Post by **biegacz90** » Mon Sep 28, 2015 12:32 pm

PE rafts I decited to use xf55 and xf79. There should be 42 but eduard gave only 39

On torpedo tubes and opposite funnels I will glue two not three.

My favourite pet peeves. I hate using masking type

It drives me mad

but on the other hand I have......

Tedious work, to be sure, but a nice effect on those life rafts. Great job and good thinking.
