Looking for a source of U-boat camoflauge

dmlavan · 09-16-07, 06:35 PM

Does anyone have a good source (book or website) that shows pictures of various U-boat camoflauge schemes. I have a few books (Iron Coffins, Luth's Biography, Shooting the War and Operation Drumbeat) and "U-boats in Action", but good pictures of the various camoflauge scenes are few. I want to try my hand at a few more skins... Thanks.

Every place I searched is copyrighted or you have to pay. The few samples are too small and non navy. Look at Steeds work. He has made nice patterns to a camo design.

Wolfehunter - thanks. Steeds' work is great... I think I have downloaded all of his skins. With so many out there from him, Fubar, Venatore, etc., I'm trying to find something that hasn't been done before.
