Last week Don, pick up a mistake on my drawing. I had the vent for the MB3 opening upward (fig. 2) it should open downward. I have included the new drawing below (fig. 1).

So do you have a budget and a shipyard yet? Looking even better every time.

How about crowdfunding a U-Boat? We could take turns in the weekends with it ;D

While working on the Fuel oil compensating system, Don noted that my updated MB3 openings looked too big. After rechecking the dimensions, I found it was slightly too big. While checking the dimensions I also recheck my photo’s and noted that the MB3 vent was a much simpler construct than I previously believe. I previously believe it was a casting, however, the photo suggests a simple plate metal construct.

I match the viewpoint of the boat and the angle of the sun. Figure 4 seem to best match the photo.

Hi Dougie

I was trying to render my U-boat today from the top view and I noted that my original RAL 9005 was getting completely washed out. In top view my original RAL 9005 looked light grey. I played around with the hue & gloss and also changed the RGB from 10,10,10 to 14,14,16.  I think the new colour looks much closer to the colour photo.

Also the sun spot looks like the right size and shape, maybe it could be a little less glossy.

Hi Simon,

Fig2 and Fig7 look really good. The sun spot might be thought to be a bit glossy given that the black paint would have been matt. But the two photos showing the sun shining on black wind deflectors (U 335 and also the late war shot) look the same as your drawings. So your drawings are correct (assuming the sun is shining from above).

Keep up the very good work.

Dougie

Today I render a new decktop background of U-1308 for my computer. If you want to uses this for your computer you are welcome.

If you have Firefox, just select the size of your screen and 'Right-hand mouse click' the picture and select "Set As Decktop Background...". Otherwise you will need to save the picture to your computer and set it as your new decktop background.

Dougie, do you think that the lengths of the central drainage area are the same or different, on the 'late war' Type VIIC and Type VIIC/41?

You said that on the Type VIIC, the two sides were of different lengths, do you think they continue this during the late war or give up on this idea.

Have you workout the height of the gap? I got 120 mm.

Hi Simon,

I haven't worked out the height but I imagine you have this right given your research and drawing skills.

In regard to the shorter main drainage area on the starboard side, this appears to be in place on all VIICs, VIIC/41s and VIIDs regardless of when they were built. There must be a reason for this. I presume it is because there is something on the starboard side just under the deck which is not in place on the port side.

The main drainage area on VIIBs was the same on both sides so it is something which is specific to VIICs, VIIC/41s and VIIDs.

If you need more info on this please let me know. The way to check it out is to use the main drainage holes as a guide.

Cheers,

Dougie

Wow, you are right! I just check my late-war photos and I can see it  :o
 
I can not imagine why. The only thing I can think it could be, is the forward torpedo loading hatch. I will investigate this.

Thanks.

Dougie, I just noted they have it correct on U-995
