Hello!
Thanks Guys for the help. I would think with all the info out on U-Boats there would be some construction drawings of a Type IX C U-boat out there!! If anyone has an idea where to look for this let me know!
Thanks,
Dan

For the last two years while doing my drawing and searching for Type VIIC's plans and information. I have never found any plans for a Type IXC. I have only seen one set of plan for any Type IX and that was for a D version :( I do have this set of plans if you want them.

If I found anything I will let you know.

  Hi Snowman!
Wow! A set for the IXD would be a start!  The D was longer, but was basicly the same boat. Yes I would like them. You you be able to down load them for me? Could you send them to my private message post?
Thanks for the help!

Hi there,
I am nearing thre point where I need to think about the cable lines for my U-805 project. Any new or good ideas on what to use for the 1/72 scale cables and insulators?

Thanks for any help.

I almost used EZ-Line, a latex available in two thicknesses. Model railroaders use it for electric telegraph/telephone poles (because if you put weight on it it stretches and doesn't snap their stuff!). I glues with CA/superglue well. In the end I went with thread, very thin and no "hairy" bits (beeswax can help that). Work pretty well. Insulators - check out Siara and some other builds. In the end I just used little crappy bits of plastic I cut off tiny-tiny, and glue to bot sides.  I did use the AMP (UBrass) vent/flood PE of course, that came with tensioners.

Hello All!
Well my U-805 diorama has been finished. I took it to the IPMS USA National in Omaha. It didn't win anything, but I had alot of good comments on it however. As long as people saw it and enjoyed it I am happy. I am now starting research on a 1/72 full hull U-505 at the time of capture on 4 June, 1944. So here I go again! I have found a great source of vacuform hulls and photo etch  from Oto Gretza in the Cech. Rep. You can find his info on this string on this fourm. I am thinking of going with him on the hull and photo etch.. It looks to me to be a more accurate hull than the Combat Models vac of the type IX. Just my thoughts after having built two Type IX vacs from our friend in PA. Any thought or ideas let me know.
Regards,
Dan

Hi Dan,

Hit the "Additional Options" when you write a post (in the "real" reply and not "quick" reply).

That opens an attachment menu with browsing to the file location on your computer.
