Type IXC/40 U-boat refference?

[Wes R]

I googled for a while but there's not really good free references that I could find. Anyone know of good sites for pics of this model U-boat? Specifically i'm going to model the U-857 as seen in the Uncharted game. In reality it sank near Maine. It's going to be rusted to heck and back and beat up but I want to make it look accurate.

U-534 is the same model and has salvage photos on google

Cool. For some reason all i got was discussion boards when i was googling it. I appreciate the help. For some reason my new model subjects are alluding me online. You'd think photos of the interior of the plane i'm doing would be easy to find.

uboat.net is a very comprehensive site for general info on u-boats.

uboat.net has a gallery.

uboat.net's gallery has a section of dive site photos... not a lot, but a few.

Wow that's a motherload, i appreciate it. I'm probably putting too much research into it given how demolished it is but still better safe than sorry.
