Album info

Turret B from the battleship Scharnhorst in the Norwegian Blue-Grey camouflage scheme she is believed to be wearing when she was sunk in December 1943.

I painted base color in Polly S Scale Light Grey (RLM76) and the camouflage in Polly S Scale Light Blue (RLM65). For the recognition marker, I used Vallejo's Flat Yellow (70.953) with a touch of Desert Sand (70.847) mixed in. Since the Scharnhorst was still young (commissioned in 1939) and repainted less than a year before, I went light on the fading and weathering. After sealing the base colors with a clear satin varnish, I applied multiple oil based filters to the turret using Payne's Grey and Burnt Umber colors.
