According to my data all torpedo pistols of the early war part (Pi1, 2, 3) have four whiskers for the impact detonation. I'm not sure of how an accoustic torpedo head or Pi4 looks.

So what is this 2 whiskers torpedo pistol?]]> elanaiba Modeling and schematics Tue, 13 Oct 2009 06:34:11 +0200 http://www.uboat.net/forums/read.php?14,81091,81091#msg-81091 http://www.uboat.net/forums/read.php?14,81091,81091#msg-81091 Nebraska Modeling and schematics Tue, 15 Sep 2009 20:51:24 +0200 http://www.uboat.net/forums/read.php?14,81049,81049#msg-81049 http://www.uboat.net/forums/read.php?14,81049,81049#msg-81049 Thanks for any info.

I'm looking for a drawings of german torpedo tubes or at least accurately photos of these devices (maybe someone who was in Laboe had taken a lot of pictures ;)
Especially I'm interested in photos of inboard sied of tube taken from the central gangway.
I've studied schematics from
[www.uboatarchive.net]
and British reports on U-570
[www.uboatarchive.net]
They contain a lot of usefull information, but now I'd like to
compare all these arrangement how it looked in real.

All this as a study/comparison of german and US torpedo tubes.

I am getting a model of U-995(As is now) made for me and i'm being asked for photos and details of the conning tower such as hatches and periscopes etc. I have lots of external, but only 2 inner ones. Has any kind soul got any more they could email to me at davemcqueen70@gmail.com??

But I'm also interested in the history of the U-waffe.
I live in Timisoara, Romania and those days the European Championship for Ship Modelling is held here. And one of those days a guy, the vice-president of the Romanian Shipmodelling Association, challanged me into building a ship scale model. A decent one, he added. He just questioned my ability to rise up to his expectations, no matter how good my AFV and A/C models are! I accepted the challenge, as I was allready half decided to build a ship model. Up to now I was oscilating bertween the Scharnhorst and a Type VII U-boot, but now I decided - my first ship model will be an 1/72nd completely scratchbuilt Type VII!
I also decided that it will be either the Prien's U-47 or the Kretschmer's U-99. Fortunately, both are Type VIIBs. Unfortunately, my documentation is rather poor in term of scale drawings (deck and coning tower most wanted) and depicts mainly the VIIC.
Now I know you are all ship lovers, but please be so kind and fair play and give a hand to an allmost new one within your ranks. Can anyone help me with good drawings and detailes for the subs I mentioned above?
Wish you all the best and thanks in advance to those who will be so kind to help!]]> Sheniloiu Modeling and schematics Wed, 01 Jul 2009 13:34:40 +0200 http://www.uboat.net/forums/read.php?14,80450,80450#msg-80450 http://www.uboat.net/forums/read.php?14,80450,80450#msg-80450
I needed scans from Revell's deck parts. If someone has this kit still in box and could send me scans of the deck what I can print in scale, that would be a great help for me to decide to start this project or not.
I already have it kit built as U-552, so I didn't buy it again if the Amati deck won't fit.


Thanks in advance.

I am doing research on UC97 that was sunk in 1921 in 250 feet of water off of Wilmette, IL.

My hope is to build two scale models: one complete model and one that is "sliced down the middle" that shows the interior spaces in detail.

Any suggestions will be much appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Thanks to the help I have received on here, I've managed to ascertain that the interval of frames on both the hull and saddle tanks were equally spaced apart. Ok thats that sorted. However here's my next dilemma

The majority of photos of model builds I have seen, indicate that the oil canning effect on the saddle tank was two (+)frames apart. Unless my eyesight is really bad photos of the saddle tanks of the U-555 seem to indicate that they were one width apart in line with the skeletal structure
Can anyone shed light on why we have these differences and tell me which is correct?

Please help stop me from going mad and allow me to start building my u-boat!!!!!]]> dachshund Modeling and schematics Sat, 18 Jul 2009 07:02:34 +0200 http://www.uboat.net/forums/read.php?14,80188,80188#msg-80188 http://www.uboat.net/forums/read.php?14,80188,80188#msg-80188
