Generally, U-boats were painted in very dark grey ( not hull red) below the waterline, and medium/ light grey above the waterline. The very dark grey extended to the tops of the ballast tanks.

Date: March 13, 2004 02:54PM Hi. I've heard that the instructions in the ULAD 1/72 U-Boat decals have paint numbers for Humbrol and Revell. Can anyone post those numbers. I know WEP has a range with "the correct" colors, but I think I won't use for two reasons: 1 - I want acrylic paint. 2 - I want to start painting this weekend.

Paint schemes Posted by: P_Woodworth () Date: November 18, 2010 12:04AM Hi all, I was just wondering if the U-Boats had any particular paint schemes. I know US subs experimented with stripes, black, and slate gray. Was there any such experimenting with the U-boats, or where they all gray, like seen on the top of the website. Thanks, Paul

This is the place to discuss general issues related to the U-boat war or the war at sea in WWII. Re: Paint Schemes. I am not 100% sure about the U-boats colour scheme, but I have read about German warship painting.

Since your work on U-Boat colors was so comprehensive I thought I'd ask about some incidental miscellaneous items available in the Revell kit and thru the White Ensign (WEM) photo-etched aftermarket kit.. This paint was a slightly brownish red similar to the "Schiffsbodenfarbe (alternate color)" colour in the S&S paint chip cards.

Date: July 14, 2005 12:16PM I read recently a report of some U-Boats in Norwegian bases with varying colour schemes, some were described as blue or grey, one as 'bright' blue and one as black and white.
