I think, strictly speaking, you need to determine which year you want the ship to represent and paint it in the appropriate colours. I would imagine when it was first built it was grey all over. ??
In any event I would pick the one LEAST used by the many millions of Tirpitz`s out there!
The Nelson I built has been finished in one of at least 3 different camo patterns I could have chosen. I picked the one I liked best (as I am a stickler for detail)
