Thanks for those pix of the stern torpedo door.  :D

I've been wondering for a long time how that worked and what it looked like.  Couldn't figure it out from the kit because there seemed to be no concavity for a regular to fit into.  Never thought of it working like this, but now that I see it makes perfect sense.

Also, shouldn't be too hard to make it work like this on the model.  Just have to create a tube for the inside and a torpedo nose to put in the tube.

The door is very 3D shape and very hard to draw in 2D like my drawing but here goes :-D Does it make sense?

Yes Simon  ;D thanks. I thought they sealed the aft torp. door. so i had doubts about the "look" comparing to your drawings.
On the picture do we see the original door ?

But it's 100% clear now.

Cheers.

Pepper-mint, I'd wondered the same thing and was never happy with how the stern tube looked in the model, but I couldn't see how the real one worked.

Now, with Simon's explanation and drawings, it all makes sense and it's actually quite easy to make a working outer door for the stern torpedo tube.

Wonderful information Simon!

I still think that on the actual U-995 the hatch is welded... Uboataces 6202...

My dear Snowman, a question remains  ;D :

How does the aft look when the torp. hatch is open ?

After helping TRM with the stern section of the deck, I thought I have a look at my stern for my drawing. I did a little bit of research and found three styles of decking, a Type VIIB, a Type VIIC and a late war Type VIIC & VIIC/41 style.

I need a few more pictures of the decking just to check a few things. Does anyone have a picture of the stern they would like to share?

Hatch Research - These 3 hatches are found on all Type VIIB's, VIIC's & VIIC/41's (and maybe VIIA)


Blue = Steam heating system inlet (Both Port & Starboard).
Red = Fuel oil inlet (Starboard only).
Green = Engine lubricating oil inlet (Starboard only).

Hi Simon,

Here are a few -







I think the grill on the starboard side has 10 bars, at least it has on two photos I've seen. Note also there is a hatch on either side of the rear bollards; these two hatches have a handle-shaped space in them (unusual for a metal hatch?).

Also, see the square hatch on the port side, behind the triangular supports? This small hatch has two square holes.

There were probably slightly different variations of the deck, even between VIICs.

Hope they help a bit.

Cheers,

Dougie

Hi Dougie

Many thanks for the pictures!!  :) :)

Your correct about the 10 grills, I also noticed this. I only wanted to add ten grills but somehow 12 came out on my drawing, then I was too lazy to delete 2 of them - I was hoping that no one would see my error. Now I will need to fix it ;D

You
