Filipe,

Mine is the same book as Peppe suggests.

Cheers,

Rob

Thank you Peppe!!! Just ordered the book from Amazon!!! Hopefully it will solve a few things. Been looking into the HP model I have here to make companion to my [i]HMS X-1[/i] (in different dioramas). Getting very keen with these odd balls submarines late WWI and interwars(K, M, X classes).

it is a book "outlines nv1" on m-class submarines - martin h brice edited in 1983 - isbn 0 946784 00 0, you can find in amazon or other on line book shop.
you can have a look on annex drawing
ciao peppe

No worries, take your time with the book. Just hope it is available on Amazon for me to order.
I recall seeing your M-1 at Telford and had the impression (artistic style) that it was yours...wasn't wrong then! :thumbs_up_1:

I'll dig the book out and let you know mate.

I did, indeed, build M1 gun-armed and M2 with aircraft. I think my M2 might be on the Finewaterline gallery but I only ever post part of what I build and I've not sent anything to MW for a long time.

Cheers,

I had the idea that you had built M-1 and M-2 in her "aircraft-carrier" version but wasn't sure and couldn't find them both on your MW Gallery. Trying to gather more information here and there with my books and online. What's the name of that book you have on the M class???
Thanks,

Filipe

I used dark grey and light grey on mine, this being 507a and 507c. I drew this conclusion based on these and other photos.

I've got a good book on the M class.

Cheers,

Rob

Greetings all,

Another difficult question for you gentlemen. After considerable research on the RN sub books I have and after some Google search I've come up with nil regarding the colours of [i]HMS M-1[/i] monitor submarine (12'' gun...!!!). Black and white photos show little of what colours she had and yet no text tells which colours her camo scheme had (can't tell the difference between a dark blue or black in the photos). Any ideas??
Regards,

Filipe
