Hi all !
I've been looking for some time for good drawings/pics of british airplane carier M2 submarine, but with no results. I'd like to build it in 1:72, with Parnal Peto on catapult, but i have no good drawings of coning tower, and wiew from above ( deck and superstructure details).
I hawe all I need for airplane ( I've start to build it recently) but no luck with sub.
Any help will be very appreciate,
TIA

Does anyone know what colours M1 and M2 were painted in? For M1 I'm particularly interested in her light grey/green camouflage scheme.

I was wondering the same thing. The Mikro-Mir instructions show this:

They indicate Ocean Gray for the lighter color and dark gray-green for the darker color, and a dark gray lower hull. Wondering what a good paint match for the gray-green would be?

Following this thread with interest as I have a long-term project modeling M2 in 1:350 scale using the Mikro Mir kit converted using 3D printing and custom etched brass--at least, that's the plan.
