I was wondering if someone could help me out? I am about to start work on two of Revell's 1/144 U-boats: VIIC and VIID. I have in mind to build U-201 and U-214 but I lack reference pictures. Here are the pics I have so far.
U-201:

U-214:

I am in particular interested if the boats had wire-net cutters while using these camouflages (Revell refers to it as early/late version):

One advice i can offer is- dont rely on Revell`s drawings!

Try this forum:
http://models.rokket.biz/index.php

The best people online regarding U-boatwaffe. Wink, Glenn, and Dougie are specialists in distinguishing the differencess between particular U-boats.
The forum is still relatively new, but some information it provides is priceless.
I found that out myself, and got the info i needed about the 552. Realy recomended.:yep:

Hope it helps.
