Can somebody make a skin for U-861?
 

Guten Tag Kaleuns,

I found these two pictures in a German Submarine magazine ("U-Boot im Focus"):

It shows U-861, a Monsun U-boat under the command of Kapitänleutnant Jürgen Oesten, returning to Trondheim in Norway in April 1945 after a 13 1/2 week journey from its base in Surabaya/Java. The conning tower emblem (the jumping panther) and the word "Lekas" (Malayan for "fast") are clearly visible. The boat looks a lot more "worn" than the IX D2 in the U-Boat Missions add-on which looks like freshly delivered from the shipyard.

It would be great if some talented skinner could add a bit more realism into the great "U-Boat Missions" add-on by doing the skin. Unfortunately, I don´t know how to do it :oops: , so I hope somebody might have the time and patience!

Many, Many thanks for your help in advance!!

Gute Jagd und Fette Beute! :up:
