These were originally made by FUBAR for SHIII, and all credit for the skins belongs to him.
I only did the necessary arrangements until they were ready for SHIV, and tested every one. They were made for my own use first but I think I should make them available for everyone.
All are JSGME compatible, high resolution and ready for use with OM.
In most case I have already made two separate downloads for VIIB and VIIC. If there is only one they can be made ready for the other by renaming a few files.
About the different variants
There is always one variant that is Fubars original, ready to use with SH4 UBM + OM.
In addition I also made slightly modded versions, which I think come out better in SH4. They are:
- less saturated
- less blue
- greyer
- brighter
- more contrast
With the intended result that the colors in-game are more restrained and less saturated.
Best try it out and see what you like more .. If you are in doubt which to use, you should take fubars originals.
A word about the philosophy: I want plain, worn and weathered boats. Essentially grey, without fancy color schemes. I don't even use tower emblems.

A comment to the next two skins 'U-552' and 'Winter'. In my opinion SH4 makes them come out too blue in sunlight, and they could use a little adjustment. I had already uploaded preliminary revised versions but it turned out I have overfiltered them, so I have put here only the original versions.
