Hi
the one thing om never sure about is how much rust would streak on a Uboat. if the boat is submerged then it wont rust that much, on the surface the rust streaks would motsly wash away and in dock some one would be shot for leting the rust grow.
I tend to think nost of it would be grime rather than rust. The Gato in Fall river tended to show oil sheen rusting rather than rust streaks. If you look at painted steel that is starting to rust the paint develops a sheene beofre the rust breaks through.
But i think its all open to the mond of the builder, and with weathering I doubt there is a wrong way to do it.
