Hi Glenn,
Those additions really improve your model, especially the seatbelt and the rudder bar straps. Looking like the real thing. Maybe you can display at an IPMS Ottawa show?
Cheers,

Hello Mr. Tore,


Do you remember or have any photos that show the device for measuring the fuel oil drained from the internal fuel oil tanks and the buckets were carried to the diesel room to measure the fuel remaining in the internal fuel oil tanks? Then the contents of the measuring device was drained into the fuel oil collection bunker/tank.

This device seems to be missing in U995.

Regards,

Finished the final (?) component of this build; fabricating the seatbelt harness. 
The closest offering was an Airscale 1:24 set (not 1:16) but they have detailed installation diagrams. (Only 1 error.)
Since no-one offers a 1:16 set, I asked a friend to 3D design and print the buckle parts.  I used regular masking tape (doubled up) for the belts.
The adjusters and lap belt latching system actually work!   I am very happy with the end result.

If its the same video it has been linked on here by me before.
I cant seem to link it again but a simple Google search of U995 Kaura Norwegian Navy will find a number of links to the color version.

Hi Don/Tore,

sorry for the belated reply. A valid option could be uploading the video on an online video platform of your choice (there are many around: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_online_video_platforms ) and share the video URL here on the AMP forum. Don't know what happened to Tore's mailbox, am sure the administrators can fix the problem. Eager to see the video soon!

Cheers,

Hello Website Administrator,


The last email that I got from Mr. Tore stated that he could not login to his account... 


"Hello Don, nice to hear from you, I am still going strong in my 94years I am hoping to show a movie from a demo mission landsetting of underground troops in a norwegian fjord where U 995 took part. It shows some interesting external immages as well as interiors of the boat at that time, including the engineroom. It is made by the norwegian navy only a few month after I left the boat. The movie is of course in black and white but shows some original details from the 1960ties. One drawback though, where to show it ? It last approximately 5- 10 minutes. I dont know what they have done to my mailbox it seems I have been thrown out."
