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?

Greetings,

Helge

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

Hi,

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

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.
