* Used some parts of Boris texture to improve a more smooth look
* Used the ballast holes on the bow/side like in the weathered skin. They are now a bit lower and the bottom row now gets smaller until it reach the black part.
* Changed the anchor color to grey (instead of black)
* Screws are copper colored (instead of black)

The pictures of V1.2 are not completely up to date.. They are V1.1b
I will add some new pictures tonight.

Nice. Great skins all around. To be honest though, I can't really tell the difference between the weathered and the USS balao weathered versions.
There does seem to be an odd seam by the bow of the weathered versions too, or maybe it's just me.

The USS Balao skin is based on photos of the USS Balao, replicating it's paint scheme as close as possible.
The other skin has a wavy painted deckline as seen on many boats of the time, and a standard Measure 32/3SSB paintscheme of gradiated greys at the rear.

On this picture you clearly see the seam on the bow


Here you can see that the paintscheme off the Balao is not the standard Measure 32/3SSB.
