Title: Aft torpedo tube muzzle door
Post by: bianco64squalo on 15 Dec , 2017, 07:54

Hi everybody,
I post a drawing I found in internet, that illustrates the parts of a Type VII C aft torpedo muzzle door; I noticed that no one modeler reproduced in his model  the external doors ( highlighted in yellow in drawing ), but the internal door ( highlighetd in orange in drawing ), that I think was visible only during the torpedo's firing...
In the above-mentioned drawing, the only thing I don't understand well is the shape of the connection bracket between the external and the internal door: can someone explain in more understandable way?
I post two photos, one ( Dougie's ) of the external door, and one ( an U-45 model ) of the internal one...
Thanks in advance.
Filippo

Dear Bianco

Thats all what i have, with this drawing you get at least a small idear how it was done .
i guess there are no original pictures of this mechanic around since i didnt found a single one in any book or in the internet .
