Yup,  I've seen that.  haven't started filling it yet.  Yes the name is still wrong, so I'll have to make my own decal for the name plate.

You may have fit problem with the bow cap, they molded it wrong and is the name still spelled wrong?

 Tracy has it.

Dark semi gloss on the main part of the hull, A lighter shade of gray on the sonar dome, rudders and planes. No red unless you are doing it as freshly launched when built.

 

I'm from the government and I'm here to help.

They're pretty much all black these days, but different areas are different materials, so the black varies on the real submarines. Black paint is too black, really, so many people use a dark, dark gray that looks better in scale. Check out:

I won this model at our model show last weekend and I figured it's a easy build so I do it real quick and have a entry for next years show in a category I've never entered in.

Anyone have any suggestions on paint?  been online and the paint scheme varies from black/red to black/DKgray/red,  Just a little confused.  I like to know the FS numbers if it's possible on any model I do.

Thanks

John
