I think I'll call this one finished  

Scheme G, June – July 1942. At the end of June she arrived at the Lufoten Islands with the Admiral Hipper, with whom she carried out an abortive attack on Convoy P.Q.17. in early July.





I may yet add a flag on one of the stays and maybe aerial wires, but to all intents and purposes she's seaworthy  Boat

Excellent build, that looks refreshingly different to plain grey overall.  Clapping

How different are the Tirpitz from the Bismarck kit, regarding the parts?

Further to this, I have two ship's boats left over  Boat

Great build Ratch.  The camo makes a change from plain grey.
