When I was a child, one of the first shipmodels I built was the Prince Eugen and I loved that ship ever since. Considered this, I have to thank You for the excellent work on the Hipper Class.

Once again thanks to everyone for the nice words!

I think that would be Prinz Eugen in the Channel Dash camo.

For now the last entry here, I'm using the new red underwater hull maomatic introduced for his Bismarck. let me know what you think:

The plans for the repair of the heavy cruiser would not come through: On March 3rd, 1945, Kiel was bombarded by the RAF, the last attack flown by the RAF against Germany in that war. Admiral Hipper was severely damaged. The repair and refit had made little progress: Most of the radar and light AA had been removed and a platform had been installed on the aft mast for a FuMO-25 radar, similar to Prinz Eugen. Aside from camo-netting, there was a basic camouflage paintjob consisting of black stripes to hide the main guns and turrets and come red-brown with fake windows to blend in with the surrounding shipyard buildings. After the bombing the crew scuttled Admiral Hipper on May 2nd/3rd. After the war had ended in Europe, Admiral Hipper was raised and was towed to Heikendorfer Bay and ran aground. There, together with other Kriegsmarine ship, including the light cruiser Emden, she was broken up from 1948-1952.

I concur, DG_Alpha, AMAZING work
