Thanks for that photo sharing. I'm not sure but I think that the last time I was on the U-505 was early 1990's with my wife and 2 children. It sure looks a lot better.

No worries, this is my second visit to the museum. I'm going back because of the model being issued and because I couldn't get a tour of the boat on short notice last visit. Will rectify that this visit.

The train board is worth a visit in its own right for diorama builders.

 ??? Question for anyone.
I am planning to do a model of  U-154. Problem being U-154 had an earlier Trum  with out the extended Wintergarten of U-505Late, as with the model.  I am wanting to use a Photo etch deck.  Any ideas on how to back date this later deck? Any ideas will be helpful.....
Thanks in advance,
Dan

 ;)  Also remember, U-505 sat for nearly 10 years before going up to Chicago. The entire Boot was in very rough shape to say the least.  The different restorations done were not always accurate. You can't us the present U-505 at MSI in Chicago as a reference when  building a U-505 during the war.  Alot of differences there!  Do your research when building!!!

Dan

Hi All,


Don't bother looking at the U 534's deck I think it was refurbished by B&Q
