Does anyone know what the correct colors are for modern Russian/Soviet Subs?  DML shows all of them in dark gray over med gray.  Tamiya shows their Oscar as Black and Zvezda shows their Oscar in all black.  Looking at pics, they appear to be very dark on top and it isn't possible to see below the waterline.  Bal'shoe Spasiba! in advance for any help.  If anyone has pics, could they post?

Hi Bill, and Welcome to Model Shipwrights, mate!  There's alot of great books around with some really good pic's that could help you out, but in the meantime, here's a link that I ran across with some modern color photo's that might be a help to you!

Another useful site, great photos of all classes: Russian Subs But you may want to turn on your pop-up blocker.

I've only seen a couple with the mark one eyeball but from what I've seen and from the pics I would guess poorly maintained black  :-)
