I don't have any colour photographs of a Typ-XXIII, but I do have some of other U-boat types, if you want me to dig them out.

Anyway, it should look something like this...



... however, that said, your new model's quality is muuuuuuuuuuuuuuch better!!!

Stunning work, Flakmonkey!

Oops, i had a feeling that stripe was wrong, i used a beautifully painted 1:72 scale model for texture reference http://hsfeatures.com/features04/uboattypexxiiicw_1.htm since all the shots of the real thing i could find were small and grainy.

+ while im here, 1 last piccy...
