Hi friends,

I'm addressing this topic to the experts that I hope to read this message.

My next project is the might U-96. I would like to have same scheme of the correct hull painting. I've checked many sources, but they are generic and I'm not sure about the right colors.

I would like to have your comments.

Thanks !

Regards

Giovanni

Hi Giovanni,
I think you mean U96 under command of Kplt. Lehmann-Willenbrock. here's the regulation for painting uboats from 1940 -1944; sorry, only available in german:

Hi Michael,

Thanks so much!

Yes, I mean the famous U69. I've checked the links: they are great. All very clear. It is exactly what I was looking for.

No problem with german. I can translate the main information.

DANKE !

Giovanni
