Hi,

I finally managed to get something done.
This time its part1 of a series depicting "The lonely Queen of the North" aka Tirpitz.

As commissioned in February 1941 - still lacking euqipment.


Tirpitz undergoing her first refit in June / July 1941.
Please note that I have based this camo-scheme on a drawing found in "German Naval Camouflage Vol 1" by J. Asmussen & E. Leon. Available photos of that period seem to show a somewhat different camo-pattern and possibly a camouflaged superstructure. I could not really confirm this, so I went with the pattern shown in the book...


Tirpitz after second refit. The ship was now fully equipped. Note the three FuMO 27's and the "Timor" passive array.


Tirpitz during "Operation Sportpalast" - the attempted attack on convoys PQ12 and QP8.


Tirpitz in a splinter-camouflage during the summer of 1942.


Part2 will follow as soon as possible.

Thanks for looking!
- maomatic -

getting really good.
