The third shade for GZ's camo will be light gray. Undersides of the gun tub/sponsons will remain white, to offset the shadows of overhanging structures. I haven't decided what to do with the horizontal surfaces or island yet. I will try to think up something. :bm:
Thanks again for looking in!

Finding a spot to sight the radar antenna isn't too hard to figger out. I fear the sponsons are just a shade to narrow to mount the deadly 128mm cannons. :blink
It was worth a shot.
 
Hmm this thread started 6 years ago on a build that started 16 years ago. I think we need to do a shelf queen build and come up with an award for the oldest build that gets finished.
I can garantee that I have at least 2 builds that go back to the 80's.

OOoooooo! The Big Model! :good:
This GZ is modified from the original vessel and the crude old Revell tooling a little bit. Forward barbettes are removed. No clunky basket trolleys for launching aircraft. A cooler crane. A lot more AA guns. Improved radar. Stuff like that.

Well. That's disruptive, all right! I color-wheeled the blue and green. The opposing color of choice was orange. Not bloody likely in the 1946 North Atlantic! :bat Red-brown might have been cool as well.

The very real possibility of attack by heavy bombers leads us to yet another iteration of "Ocean Ambush".
You German armor builders will understand what all the pesky Tamiya tape triangles are for.
Tommy Bombcat has paid a 1/700 scale visit.
One more color to add to the horizontal surfaces. I have to figger out the superstructure paint scheme after this. :wow:
Danke fur Ihren wieder ansehen!
