U-307
 
I found the attached pictures of U-307, a "Nordmeerboot", in a highly recomendable German Submarine Magazine called "U-Boot im Focus". The unusual camouflage finish is quite interesting. Maybe one of the many talented painters in this forum is interested in making a skin for this particular boat?

Cheers, Kurfürst

Similar markings to a killer whale almost:hmm:

Interesting markings... The bow could definitely be done with ease, I could probably get away with painting the white amidship and the turm but that black spot on the top of the conning tower would be kind of tricky.

Guys,

here´s another picture of U-307 which shows the camouflage a bit clearer. Guess the white conning tower and the bow wake should resemble an iceberg or drifting ice.

Interesting paint scheme!
