Ok, since there still seems to be interest, here are up to date versions ... The skins are fubars which I have re-colored extensively. Credit should go to him and his wonderful work.

Type VIIB (and most VIIC versions)

First the skin that I mostly use for the type VIIB. What I wanted is an essentially "grey" skin that looks like German U-boats appear on pictures, and I spend a long time getting the grey "right". Like all VII's in OM it will look better in all overcast conditions and not so good in very bright sunlight, where boats appears almost blue no matter what texture is used. There is not much I could do about that, but I still like it more than any other paintjob I have seen ..

It will also work on the VIIC with turm 1 and 3, but on turm 2 another texture will be used that looks not so good.

Type IXC and IXC/40

Second a heavily weathered, grey green IXC and IXC40 that I have been enjoying a lot myself.
