I'm thinking of making a new color skin for the IX series based off a photograph of U-995, I know that this is a VIIC/41 type sub but I like the blueish color cause it kind of blends in with the ocean!

I'm gonna do the Conning tower the same color and make wooden decks cause I read that U-Boats later in the war used wooden deck to save on steal usage

here's a couple Extremely ROUGH shots to get an Idea of what it would look like

I've looked all over the net looking for U-Boat colors but they are hard to find due to the fact that they are all Black and White

Would like an opinion on weather this would be a project worth pursuing or not also if any one has a good links to some showing U-Boats colors!

Danke
