Very nice build, while I am sure the white dabs of paint are suppose to be there, is does spoil the overall appearence of an otherwise crisp looking submarine. :thumbs_up_1

As for box art, I've had several run ins with these inaccuracies, its the same on this box, unless I am wrong, clearly shown are 3 colours, on the display you'll see 4 different colours, I guess this is where research comes into itself.

Lovely model epheli Image

The paint scheme you've applied was quite common amongst the miniature subs of the time.

Three colors, fully agree, but two of them are related with the torpedo. The uboot, according to my documentation was paint with black or with similar to gunship gray.
