Let's just say I was testing the bounds of reality. I was curious to see what would happen. That's all it was: curiosity.

Hello Again!
The Type IX C/40 was too late for a deckgun. They did have a single 30mm and two 20mm double AA guns. You canget these fairly easy if you are buiding an early type IX C.
Regards,
Dan

Hello All!

Progress Report on my Type IX C/40 :
Have all the vents and floods installed in the hull. I am now working on a scratch built pressure hull since the floods show alot of open space. So far the project is going very well. Hope to have some pic of it so far soon.

Regards,
Dan

Hi Dan,

Glad to hear the U 805 is progressing - I've always thought you'd get round to building this boat given your family connection. Very jealous to hear you will get to crawl over U 505. That will be a fun day out for you!

Cheers,

Dougie

Hi Dougie!
Thanks for the comments!
I am looking foward to going to see U-505. It is about 7 hours away by auto. I plan to go in June. I will try to get some detail photos of the hull and Trum working area. These areas are verboten to the average person.  These are scarce on the internet for a Type IX Boat. Too bad there are no reference books on the Type IX that I am not aware of... If anyone knows of such material please let me know. I will try to send you some progress shots to post on this Forum...
More to come..
Dan

Hi Dan

If you able to would you be able to take a few detail pictures of the cut-a-way torpedo at the U-505 exhibit for me. As I want to draw the inside of the torpedo. Any picture would be great and I would be grateful. Thanks, Simon.

Hi!
No problem for the detail photos on the trop. My father was a Trop Tech. on U-805. They had the latest Trops on this U-Boat which the Americans took off when U-805 surrendered. They then took U-805 out and sunk it off Cape Cod.
Regards,
Dan

Hello All!
Sorry for the long delay. I have been struggling with the deck on this project. I want to do some detailing on the underside of the deck especially the inner hatch detail etc.... I want to make this model with a bit more detailed than to just have a deck and tower. So I have been working with that. The pressure hull is finished. And the air and exhaust systems are in as well. I had to guess on most of this since I have been unable to locate any drawings of the pressure hull detail for a type IX. If any one can find anything on this let me know, I could use this on my next Type IX project.

More to come...
Regards,
Dan
