Folks, here's the bottom line. When using model master paints use :

for the bottom hull......#2094 schwartzgrau
for the upper hull, coning tower guns #2077 lichtgrau
for the decks......#2084 graugrun (mispelled on my bottle)

In honesty, I really don't see a big color difference btwn the Swartz and graugrun....maybe after they are applied.

I'm sure WEM has special paints just for U-boats so you may want to go with those. Tamiya, don't have a clue but the bottom s a very dark grey and the top a pretty light color
