bill ' yes this is a strange layout . it is what is called a type 9 c / 40 .  the indentations in the forward bow was a modifacation on the type 9 c to help aid diving speed due to the fact that these boats had a slow diving time compared to a type 7 .hope that helped . ;)

Ah very nice Bill,please give me the telephone number. :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'(
And about the article,you`re right it is not visible(NOT YET) on the internet,
I have just copied a few lines of the article.
I am still working on it,but when I am finished I will post a link this section of the forum.

vonbulowfla,if these plans are finished can I get my hands of one of these,
I have an unbuild model of the type IX-C/40 in the 1/32 scale,and that will be the U-870(Ernst Hechler),
and yes yes with a ''schnelltauchback''.

Enjoy you`re day guy`s. ;)


my best regards,

Ron.

It is indeed a hull from Lee Upshaw(scaleshipyard),
I have 2 CT`s for this boat,a turm I and a turm IV,but I will use only the turm IV.
There are no decks on this boat,I have got few details but that are not gonna be used.
 

Here are a few pictures of the boat.

The Revell type VII-C is in front.













I hope you like my baby`s.




Oh and here is my article,I have just uploaded it,I hope you like it.
It is not finished yet.(the link will be removed in 7 day`s)
