Working on the idea of building up the Revell VW Type 82E as a Kriegsmarine vehicle. Couple questions. #1 .... Color? Photos I've seen of KM vehicles they look dark. RAL 7021? I know they use a licence plates with WM. Any other sorts of tactical markings? (Markings for like the torpedo shop?) I'm leaning towards a base vehicle for U-Flot. 2 or 11. Would the 1/72 Peddinghaus U-boat decals be a good size for fender markings? Oh! Anybody have a spare Notek light floating around?

Wouldn't a Schwimmwagen be more appropriate?

Here you'll find some pics of various vehicles in Kriegsmarine service :

On a side note, some vehicles had civilian licence plates,with a WM marking on the fender, like these (same with WH or WL...) :

Anybody know someone that is looking for a 1/72 Peddinghaus U-Boot #2 sheet?
