If Graf wants a red bottom ½ hull then who are we to say different. Now if you had asked a bit nicer like, for a grey bottom ½ hull instead of sounding rather demanding, you may end up with more choices than none at all. This fanatical anal retentive rivert counting attitude is what turns a lot of new modders right off, damn quick. I know you said please, but to me in its current context, it sounds more like an order/demand. If I have gotten it wrong, then this post never happend and I was never here (in other words, I may have read more into it than you intended and if so I apologise).

Graf, on your changes.

Any chance you have a IIA skin with the bottom red hull??----I'd enjoy taking same out on the first few patrols of a new campaign in 39 before changing to a "war scheme" paint job--simulate using a training boat for the first few patrols.

For the historic experts,---I thought i read somewhere that a few of the early pre war IIA's had the red hull (probably wrong--anyone else recall this?--would like to know for sure ). If i recall right, the red and white buoy on the rear of the sh3 IIA was not there once war began but wasn't one found in the early days of the war in the english channel along with a brass plauque(sp) with writing that said "U-... was sunk here notify BDU" or something to that effect??

Anyway, Graf--keep up the fiddling
