Thanks everone for your help and pictures about the decking!

I was able to work out from all the pictures the hatches location etc... I was also able to find the pressure hull opening within U-995. So I had the start and end of the piping, I just have to best guess the bit in between. I place a bronze pipe end at the inlet. The piping on the left is for the fuel oil and the one on the right is for the Engine lubricating Oil.

I have not be able so far to workout the piping for the Steam heating system :( :(


Engine lubricating oil & fuel oil piping.

For the pressure hull openings for the fuel oil and the Engine lubricating Oil lines, I base it on the internal piping of U-995. Just today after looking at one of the pictures that SG posted I was able to confirm that I had corrected estimate there placements. You can clearly see the two pressure hull flanges.

Hi Snowman!
That would be great! I am starting to do research for a full hull 1/72 Type IXC U-505.

Dan

Air Inlet Mast - UPDATE

While researching the Air Inlet Trucking Line, I noticed almost all models and drawing are incorrect. Most have believed that the trucking line come out at the bottom of the mast as in Fig. 2. However, as seen in the two wartime photographs below (Figs. 3 & 4) Fig. 1 is correct.

Hi Dougie

Great photos! Some of these photos are from "Die deutschen U-boote und ihre Werften" by E Roessler. They show U 235 in October 1943.

I wonder, if you could tell me something about content of above book?
Are there photos which can help in the investigating the technical aspects of
U-Boots construction? Now I'm especially interested in the photos presenting
the forward torpedo room.

Hi Simon

I was wondering if anyone has any war time pictures of the electric motors on the Type VIIC

Hi Maciek,

The book "Die deutschen U-boote und ihre Werften" is really good, providing excellent photos of boats on the slipways in various stages of construction. But it doesn't have internal photos so I don't think it will help you with forward torpedo room.

The one book which does have internal VIIC photos is "U-Boat War" by Lothar Guenther Buchheim. This is full of photos he took on the famous U 96 patrol. It includes a few photos of the forward torpedo room.

Cheers,

Dougie

I have german edition of this book - "U-Boot-Krieg" - and it is really good.
Anyway, I'll try to get the book "Die deutschen U-boote und ihre Werften".
