Hi everybody,
I am one of those, sometimes called as "anglophil". I wanted to build RN submarine of WWII for a long time, and siply forgot, that I actually have one! It's ORP Dzik (U type coastal submarine), released by Maly Modelarz (twice!) and A. Halinski - all are the same model. I have the earliest edition, which is typical "old MM" - very crude cardboard, not very nice print quality either, but virtualy no color mismatches. When scanned it looked even worse, so I repainted most parts in PSP. However I have a simple question - what should the colors be? The grey/green with red undersides looks OK to me, but what shades or codes or whatever? I am a little familiar with RAF colors and FS, but totaly unfamiliar with naval ones. I made appropriate changes to represent P44 HMS/M United, although I suppose most of RN submarines wore the same scheme.
thank You in advance.
