Recent uboat pictures

[QUOTE=trout;n117802]i agree with the original thought of reflection, but there are many angles of the deck and you can see those hatches are lighter. Photos from the museum do not really work in our discussion. The museum sub has been painted several times including incorrect colors in the past. What brought this up is the photo of a Type 9 with light hatches. Even ones in the shadows show their gray characteristic. This supports the fact that they painted the hatches gray and at the time of capture, the U505 had been out on patrol for a while. It looks to me like the crew maintained the deck with the Captain's choice of painting. [/QUOTE
Fellows, the black paint has chipped and pealed all over that boat. I do have clear close up pictures of the decks, I'm trying my best to salvage the 6000 ot so u boat pictures that I have conglomerated the last fifteen or so years. Power supply burnt out of the old PC. I can try to remember the source, and load em up.

Ok here are close ups. The black paint has worn off most all metal with the south Atlantic light blue original paint still adhearing to the boat You can see most of the coal black, on the wood surfaces has also worn off.
