Using a 1:15 scale original German Hull Section plan, I realign them in a lateral view to workout the deck profile. From this I could see that the rounding of the second angle was between frame number -6 and -3. Here the new update of the deck profile :)

Hi All

I have two plans that illustrate the aft Battery Hatch, but they are both in different location :( Does anyone know the correct location for the aft Battery Hatch?


Fig. 1. Battery Hatch location between frame number 41 and 42.


Fig. 2. Battery Hatch location between frame number 44 and 45.

Thanks, Simon

Question: Compressed Air Bottles

I have see the values for capacity, pressure etc... for the compressed air bottles but I have not see the dimensions of them. Does anyone know there dimensions ???

Thanks, Simon.

Ventilation System - Finish

I was laying in bed this morning and wondering why are the models 1:72 scale, why not 1:70 or 1:75 scale? Anyone know why 1:72 scale.

Good question, Simon.

Aircraft model scales tend to be in 24th, 32nd, 48th, 72nd, and 144th scale. All numbers that we can divide by 8. This allows Airfix's new 1/24th Mosquito (with 617 parts by the way!) to be exactly twice the size of a 1/48th Mosquito. If 1/72nd had been rounded off to 1/75th we wouldn't be able to make such a comparison.

Armour and some helicopters tend to use 35th scale. Not sure why they are in this different size. Anyone know?

Ship models tend to be in 72nd, 96th, 144th, 192nd, 350th, 700th, 720th and 1200th (other scales are used too). Obviously all of these scales don't conform to the same neat systems that aircraft scale conform to. Some are multiples of 8, while 350th and 700th have been rounded off to the nearest big numbers.

Are you thinking of printing your drawings off in various scales?

Cheers,

Dougie

Hi Anakin,

Wiki does have its uses! This explains the origin of 35th scale -

This link has a list of scales -

As the drawing is a vector base and I have scale all the nuts, bolts, rivets and steel to scale. I can scale the drawing to any small from 1:1 to 1:20,000 ;D But I will keep my poster to 1:43 scale which will make the drawing about 1,600 mm long.


Thanks, Dougie & Anakin for the information about the scaling :)

Thanks Anakin for the links! :)  I had seen some of the links but did not realize how much information there was.

Hi.  New member here.  Please excuse me if I screw up the proper format for posting since this is a new forum software that I'll have to learn how to use yet.

I've been building a 1:72 scale U-boat and had been searching for trunking and piping detail under the casing, since it's all going to be accessible in my model, and when I found NZSnowman's drawings they just blew me away.  He's got exactly the data I've been looking for all this time and his drawings are terrific!!!!

Anyway, so much for introduction.  Now to take a stab at answering a recent question.

NZSnowman asked: "I was laying in bed this morning and wondering why are the models 1:72 scale, why not 1:70 or 1:75 scale? Anyone know why 1:72 scale."

And dougie47 replied: "Aircraft model scales tend to be in 24th, 32nd, 48th, 72nd, and 144th scale. All numbers that we can divide by 8. This allows Airfix's new 1/24th Mosquito (with 617 parts by the way!) to be exactly twice the size of a 1/48th Mosquito. If 1/72nd had been rounded off to 1/75th we wouldn't be able to make such a comparison."

I think dougie is on the right track when he said that all the aircraft scales can be divided by 8.  It was simply that in the early years of commercial model kits, (at least the ones that were mass marketed in the English speaking world and thus became well known, that they were all measured in inches and the full size item was measured in feet.  It's much easier to divide inches by 1/4, 1/8, etc. than it is to divide by 10s, and this also works out easily with a foot.

Even though metric is used in most places now and measurements divisible by 10 make more sense, the scale standard had already been set in the largest model-making countries of the time.
