I am building a 1/700th model of the German Battleship Bismarck and would like to know since most of the photos I have looked at are in Black and White, are the radar on Bismarck Black, white, Lt. gray or Dark gray? The instructions don't tell me what color they were.

Hey Jody,

If you are building her during 1941 Operation "Rheinübung", then they would be a medium gray color.
