I can't tell from the pictures I have, if U-1023 had Naxos. In one of the photos I think I can see it but not quite sure. Should I build it?



Another thing: I decided I'm going to use Schlikgrau 58 for the upperhull and conning tower. For that effect I have Revell 47 as stated in dougie's article. Got a question here: the bridge, should I paint it also in Schlikgrau 58 or a lighter colour?

Both U-249 & U-1023 had FuMB-7 Naxos.  U-249 (Right) also had FuMB-35 Athos

Yeah.. but I've already have a bot painted in that scheme and there aren't many dark grey boats around. Also, take into account that this will be a late war boat.
But thanks for your opinion!

Hi Nicolas,

There weren't many light grey U-boats late in the war.  So I'd definitely agree with you about going with Schlickgrau 58.

Keep up the good work.

Cheers,

Dougie

I'll go get Revell 47 straight away.
Here's some very nice information which I would have liked to discover at the time when I was working on my schnorchel

If anybody wants to build this modification, this info is mandatory!

Small update (without photos): Schnorkle and it's housing are painted and glued in place, pretty satisfied with the result. Bridge: only BBC box remains unbuilt, Naxos device is giving some trouble to be glued in place. Photos coming soon.

Hello everybody, it's been long since my last update. I've been working a lot on the boat and I'm nearing it's completion. Now I'm working on the AA guns. Should I paint them Schlickgrau 58 like the rest of the boat or instead, a lighter grey?

Hi Bracco,

Looking forward to seeing photos. I'd go for Schlickgrau 58 for your AA guns.

Cheers,

Dougie
