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?

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

Take care

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 :-)
