[REL] Wolfehunters VII U-99 Series
 

U-99 VIIB is finally ready. I've managed to convert it to work with all VII avaible types for SH3.

She looks like a real workhorse. She doing her fare share of hard work. Each VII type has its own look and feel.:yep:

Some pics below to see the avaible skins.

Thanks alot Wolfhunter for this fabulous skin I am just getting it downloaded and many thanks for all the time you put in on this terrific skin can't wait to see her. Thanks U-5000:up:

:hmm::o:huh::dead::oDL:lol::up:;)
Each detail carries a trace of masterwork. Next great skin in your [mine;)]
collection. Thank you Wolfie:up:
P.S. I'm preparing next work for you.

:o :dead: Lol hold on my friend let me get some rest. I spent too many hours working and not enough hours sleeping my eyes are going to explode. Give me a few days before you bombard me with a new project. I would like to enjoy the new skin myself.

For future skins I'm looking at finishing a IXD2 type. But I can't find any good photos. If you find some please show them I would appreciated it..

Merry chistmas Lutzow.:up:

Thank you;)
As you wish, Master - keep your vacation as long as you can.
But there always will be back to work - the battle for Atlantic has never ended !
For IXD2 i have only one suggestion/impression at now...
U-181 commanded by Wolfgang Luth - he took the longest patrol in WWII - about half year!! I can search better photo but look at his u-boot:
http://img161.imageshack.us/img161/6690/u181aj0.jpg
First u-boot under his command was U-9 :

Maybe this white color on turm is a sunlight and maybe not - but that painted ''DUCK'' [White turm and rest hull in darker colour] looks very interesting. Don't you think?
Of course - cross can be added by choice emblem but originally this black cross was maded from steel by crew.
Next fine camo scheme i found at U-37 - type IX A.

The camos seems different but i'm sure that you can made the best choice.
U-25 - one of first u-boats in WWII - unfamous hulk ravaged by many malfunctions due to his bad construction. ...but his camo looks very impressive:

...and especially his turm:
http://img204.imageshack.us/img204/2713/u25turmyb2.jpg
Some skilled skinner can make super rework from this camo for uboot...VIIB?
Next fine camo scheme comes from...i don't know - look - pictures from two sources: One tells - U-81
http://img525.imageshack.us/img525/3507/bu81ey3.jpg
...and the other - U-565
http://img47.imageshack.us/img47/2042/au565pc5.jpg
Maybe someone can help me with this puzzle.:ping:

...to be continued

And here are impressions - they looks like dark camos painted on grey hull but we [me]of course don't want them. We want your imagination, Maestro.;)

I love especially the last one - from U-556 because it's type VIIC - my favour;)
Of course - if you don't want to make them...:rotfl:

Hmmm I don't want to make them?:roll: Yes I do. :smug: Well this should keep me busy for a while.

For U-81 I'm going to say its U-81. Well since I've made many of the 80's 81 is on my list.

U-37 has an intersting scheme. But there interpretation is of the camo is wrong. I'll post a revise pic showing why soon.

Nice work Lutzow your going to keep me busy for long time.:up:

U-123
