I have kits of both these... The Mirage U-40 & the U-37 in their upgraded WCM release. There are no differences between these kits aside from the dedicated PE frets, but since I want to model differences between them I do have some questions.
Since it was sunk early in the war, I understand the U-40 still carried her net-cutter & deck gun. Are these assumptions correct?
As for the U-37, which survived to 1945, when did it lose either or both of these features?
Also, the WCM kit provides a camo pattern for her...but it is not dated. Is it reasonably accurate for any period after she had lost either or both of these 2 features...if she ever did? Unfortunately, the instructions make no mention of these items being optional for the build.
Thanks for reading
