Hi Guys
i have a question about painitng the bizmarck ...
in issuse 128 (page 264) we are told to paint the bottom of the hull in RAL 8012
up until this point my models hull has been painted in a primer paint and as far as i can see there has been no mention to paint it in any other colour or type of paint before this issue
my thoughts are would it not be correct to paint the hull in RAL 7001 first the paint the lower section in RAL 8012
i have found another situation which confuses me :-
in issuse 130 on page 272 we are told to add parts 1304 to the mast using the nylon thread and attach them to the mast
the problem is in section 32 it states :- "Paint the threads and the two parts 1304 in the same grey [RAL number 7001 or equivalent] as you used for the mast.
however the mast has only been painted in the grey primer as used on the hull i cant find any mention to paint the mast in the RAL 7001 before this point
my question here is what am i missing is there some missing information from the assembly guide and if so what else is missing
because of this i have painted the mast and the rear mast in RAL 7001 but i'm worried i have missed something else
anyone else noticed this and if so what have you done about it ?

We have been told to paint the superstrucure in RAL 7001 or equivelent (I used humbrol matt 64 light grey), I noticed that there was no instruction to paint the mast either, but it should be painted the same colour as the superstructure....whatever colour that it is you choose!
I have just spray painted the lower hull red today and will be painting the upper hull light grey when I recieve the next batch of issues.....if they ever arrive with this damn postie strike!

my advice would be to leave any painting till at least issue 135,except undercoat as there are many bits yet to add which end up the same colour as the hull.superstructure etc
