I'm getting ready to start painting the Revell 1/144 Type VIIC as U-96 with the net cutters. I'm using three shades - light, medium and dark: dark on the lower hull, medium on the decks and light on the upper hull and conning tower sides.
MY QUESTIONS:
1) What about the net cutter mounted on the upper deck, the fixed railings beside the tower and the aerial supports on the aft deck? Should they be light - like the upper hull - or medium, like the deck to which they're mounted? I can make a case either way, but thought I'd see what more experienced Kreigsmarine modellers might say.
2) Regarding the deck gun, near as I can tell it should be light underneath and medium - like the deck - on top. Right?
Any help will be appreciated, otherwise I'll flip a coin. TIA!!
