Your kit of the HMS Undine seems to reflect that
the real submarine Undine was sunk in January 1940.
Everything that I have states at the outbreak of war British subs were painted due to their station in the world. The Home Fleet used 507A or 507B and the Mediteerean fleet used 507C.These appear to be painted in one color overall.Hope that helps.

Hi: I'm currently building this kit and a few questions.
What were her colors in:
A: Outside Brest 1941-2 (patrol against a possible sortie of the Scharnhorst, Gneisenau & Prinz Eugen.)?
B) 1939 Atlantic?
C) in the Mediterranean? I'm assuming it would be Mediterranean Blue topside and red lower hull but with or without a black waterline???
Also, the kit comes with a large decal for the conning tower with her name & pennant no... but I'm assuming she shouldn't be carrying this or any other ID marking while on patrol?
The Mirage kit is very vague about her colors.
Thanks for reading
