Am not sure about the look of the emblem in an earlier stage than Jan 1942. I only found this picture (the boat has not the wind deflector) which suggests the possibility of a cross at the cat's neck in the early life of U 564 but it's way too small (even magnified) to draw a definitive conclusion:http://francois.delboca.free.fr/port/u-564.gif


I managed to find a larger version of that picture and the cat doesn't sport any cross.

SG, thank you for the confirmation! At the moment I am literally flooded with work (the sinking u-boot).... I wish I won the lottery... then building models indefinetely:)
I will for sure see if I can vectorize the decal and see if I can then make adjustments and print it on decal paper. If I can make it well enough, I'll post the results here.

Thank you, but I was too late, I am a slow mover sometimes.
By incredible luck, I got the first set when buying a second hand unused WEM pe set for 10 euro, in the envelope, the complete set:)
