Hi,
first off: thanks for the kind comments, guys!
Lifes' been busy lately, but I was finally able to complete the series of Deutschland / Lützow.
So let's wrap things up with the final two drawings of her:
Lützow was painted in an interesting camouflage pattern by mid 1943, when she was stationed in Norway.
Unfortunately, since the starboard pattern is unknown, I can only offer a port view of the ship.

The last drawing depicts Lützow in early 1945.
Note the increase in light AAA and the mix of calibres (4cm, 3,7cm and 2cm). The exact number and layout of the light AA guns varies quite a bit between sources.
I modeled my drawing after Koop & Schmolkes "Pocket Battleships of the Deutschland Class", the few available period photos of Lützow and what I'd like to call "common sense"...
This being the case, do take my drawing with the usual grain of salt!

Thanks for looking!
