Tirpitz deck colours

Post by reptile »

Hello possibly old query, on plan g(june 1942)was the deck plain wood or camouflaged.new to ships normally armour so would welcome info.I did find one starboard veiw plus top, but seeing that it didn't say the camo was only on one side(found out to late after painting both sides)repainting hull was easy just like to make sure for the decks, thanks for any info.
and we call this hobby relaxing!!

Reptile - you may want to check out the site below. Tirpitz had a "splotch" camouflage on her deck early on (see site's photo gallery.) The splotches have been interpreted as either dark gray or brown and green. Hard to tell in a black and white photo.

Later, the deck may been painted a solid dark gray.
