Simon, i was only able to spot the tabs on U 1306 (pic you posted) and U 1304 (commissioning ceremony), in both cases they werent photographed from a close distance. Other boats that could possibly sport them could well be U 907 and U 1165, in both cases they're either too distant or too blurred to be seen clearly.

I have also see them on:

U-623
U-882
U-1023

Hi Simon,

Those links show some great photos. If there was only one then I would suggest a manufacturer's identification plate. But with four plates there they can't be that. Perhaps they had an actual function relating to the UZO operation.

Cheers,

Dougie

The other thing about them that is a little odd, they look very shiny.

Style 2 the late war rounded railing

Today I noted in war time photo that the two ready Ammunition Container on the lower wintergaten are not aligned with the deck not are rotated approximately 40° inbound. The incorrect alignment is above.

Here a little movie I made of my Type VIIC/41 Turm 4, 3-D model.

It the first movie I have made and upload, happy viewing.

Having fun

Testing for water tightness.

Perhaps starting to model to much detail, starting to model the welding seams.

Hehehehe. Superdetailing is always welcome! Outstanding!

Hi Simon,

Sorry I have no measurement written down, only a couple of drawings. However all is not lost, which given measurements I have already taken of the U 534 I am less inclined to trust, I feel the need to make one more visit to the U 534, given her state of disrepair on my last visit it will not be a happy trip but I need to take a few more measurements and I have a better way of photographing the 3.7cm than previous.
They is a C38 in the indoor museum area which I can measure the base, it is a single mount but I am pretty sure that the bases were the same dimensions. Not sure when that will be, maybe Easter. If there is anything else that I maybe able to measure/photograph feel free to ask.

Regards
Jon

Hi Jon

There a serial plate on the U-505 Twin 20 mm M43U, any idea that is on it?

Thanks, Simon.

Here is my latest 3-D model, a 2cm Flak C38 in a M 43U Zwilling mount with a short folding shield, as see on many U-boats (U-190, U249, U-250, U-278, U-337, U-475, U-853, U-1058, U-1109, U-1023, U-1105, U-1165 and U-1306).

This is my largest, most complex and most detail 3-D model I have created so far. It’s taken me over 100 hours of work to created it.
