I have changed My U-boat from the U-69 to the U-201 because of the additional features on the 201 - however I am having a real difficult time finding resources to shaow the paint and look of her prior to her last mission- did she still have the snowmen on the sail?

Oooh, Good question, John...I'm at a definite loss in helping you at the moment (I'm at the office, reference library at home!) but if you can wait til later I'll be glad to do some searching for ya, mate!

Many thanks - I built myself into a corner by adding the telescoping antenna because it looked "cool" now I have to play "match the boat!" near as I can tell the U-201 had the deflector and the antenna -but no net cutter- thats easy to remove- bummer. Any help will be appreciated

Ahoy, John!
I see what you mean now, mate...what little pictures of U201 around the final mission time that I found are pretty crappy, to put it bluntly...but I did find this well done dio that might be of some help...

U201

Hope this helps ya some!

Hello John,
I looked into all my references, in the last couple of days, and
found that there is no indication that at the time of her sinking,
her colors or emblem was altered.
So if you paint her in the "Altlantic camo" and retain the
snowman, on the tower, you would have a correct represent-
ation of this u-boat, at the time of her sinking, on Feb.1943.
Hope this info helps,
Have a nice day and happy modelling!

thanks
