U-boat light color?

[mickm]

Hi all,
I was wondering if someone can give me the correct color for the various lights on a Type VII-C?
I know there are two on the sides of the tower, one at the rear of the tower and another towards the rear on the deck. Am I missing any?

Thanks in advance,
Cheers,
Mickm

The tower lights are green

The tower lights are green on the starboard side, red on the port side and white (or clear) on the rear.

All of these bulbs were removed on front boats (boats on active war patrol). This was done to prevent these lights from accidentally being turned on, thus aiding the enemy to visually spot the boat on the surface at night. If you want to correctly depict a front boat then you would not have functional lights on it.
