[WWI] Sub confusion

[J.R. Boye]

      Marc and Tom, thanks for the replies. 
I have seen the site on the Imperial Navy, and it is excellent. The model photos are especially helpful. Unfortunately, U-boats are not specifically dealt with, and I was hoping for more guidance on that.
    Marc, the photo of U-35 was just great. I had not seen that one before and it is really clear compared to the fuzzy shot in the Osprey book. Thanks for that.
      I see you went with the red hull on your model. Do you remember why you went with that? I was also thinking of deleting the stern gun since it doesn't appear in the photos.
      I think I was luckier with my kit since the molding looks pretty even on mine.

                                                       J.R. Boye

And I reply:
An excellent on-line reference for the WW1 German Navy is here: 
http://german-navy.tripod.com/
Unfortunately, except for the color guide, there's not much there for
the submarine modeler.  

This site: http://uboat.net/history/wwi/index.html has some good photos
of WW1 German U-boats.

There's a picture of U-35 here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unterseeboot_35_%281914%29

Here's a picture of the model I made (scroll all the way to the
 bottom):

 At the time I found several other pictures of the boat, but I can't
seem to find them now.  It may be I need to look through my library at
home.
