TIRPITZ, AIRFIX 1/600 SCALE
My 25 day lockdown build of the Airfix Tirpitz kit... Lots (for me!) of scratch building of the Airfix kit, which is basically just Bismark with two sets of Torpedo tubes added... To give you some idea of the differences between the two ships, Tirpitz was 2000 tonnes heaver than Bismark!
The nameplate was designed and printed off by me.. The font (Traditio AH) was sourced, downloaded and installed, as was the ships crest using google..
Painting the capstans was a bit of a pain as the paint had gone off a bit... The Swastika flags were made from a Kit Kat wrapper, 8mm diameter white stickers from Rymans, with the cross drawn on with a black biro!
That camouflage looks fiendishly difficult. You've mad a fantastic job of it!
