Aye, this is the persistent argument. How to weather this ship appropriately. I didn't know the fuel leak caused an obvious discolouring. Would also be interested in references. I will approach my kit with the minor, everyday bumps and dings, that all working ships gain. Even the big, monochromatic areas will have subtle filters and lightened/darkened paint, to add some character. Like minor streaks from salt or dirt. What I have learned, from my time with aircraft kits, is a darker 'fade' in corners and crevices provides a nice 3D illusion. I use a white or light grey base primer then pre-shade the corners and hollows with dark grey or brown-black. With a thinner-than-usual mix of the top colour, I gradually build the finish colour until the pre-shade areas blend in. A dry-brush with light grey or deck tan, along edges, rivets and rails, accents the highlights that would look more normal on the full-size. A Prismacolour pencil or 000 brush with light grey/deck tan paint adds 'chips' or worn patches to corners and areas of high traffic. Your build series is a brilliant 'primer' and pre-visual guide.. Love it. I've been noting the little tweaks you've been doing, here and there. What to file off, where to cut off, etc. Thanks for taking the time to record your work. Much appreciated.
Thank you very much for watching my Videos and yes I appreciate your Comment and suggestions. Well as on every Model you can spend Tons of Working Hours to perfect the Model but I think that's not my Thing and I admire People who do so . I might will go for a very light weathering , but that's not final yet
Thank you very much for your Opinion it strengthen mine and those of my Patrons NOT to weather the Model . But I might will do some highlights here and there just to loosen up the Grey in Grey but that's not final yet
Just a little weather it give more realistic look but don't go overboad. I agree with you. She wasn't in service that long but was working ship that maybe harder to do.
Bismarck has significant fuel leak after she left Gdynia port on her starboard - this is obvious markant that should be weathered; other where just small scratches here and there … may be just little bit green around the wattermark and some paint inconsistences below watermark should be nice (it is huge monolitic surface and therefore is “boring” to see)
Thank you very much for your advice and comment . Your Suggestion seems to be very realistic and understandable so I might will follow . Can you send me a Picture or source of that Fuel Leak via Email ? davaoshipmodeler@gmail.com . Thank you in advance
Incredible modeling skills. Very impressive.
Thank you very much

When you look at the pictures of Bismarck, the ship always looks as though she has just been accepted by the Kriegsmarine.
KEEP BISMARK CLEAN.

Yes thank you Marvin for your Opinion , thanks to another Viewer I got already an Idea about the weathering
