Title: Looking for reference pictures of post-war Wilhelm Bauer
Post by: conus00 on 03 Jul , 2009, 16:25
Hi guys,
I have just started collecting picture references for my next project: Revell's 1/144 Wilhelm Bauer. I would appreciate if any of you have any exterior pictures you could share?
Here are a few samples of what I am looking for:

Funky, back to windows. Never really seemed like a good idea. One near depth charge and POW! Interesting project, hopefully someone can help.

@Bad Karma: Great pictures. Thanks for sharing!

Also, does anybody have interior picture(s) of the conning tower? I have plenty of the inside of the pressure hull but none from the inside of the sail.

Great pictures, I have already seen some of them before.
Do you have an idea if the tower interior picture (the one with benches) is towards aft?

According of the book''anatomy of the ship type XXI''(page 53).

This is the after part of the surface control
station of U-Wilhelm Bauer,showing the opening(above)for the bridge watch.
Behind it is the periscoop housing.

And I think between the periscoophousing and this bench/step is the CT hatch :-\ :-\ :-\ :-\ :-\ :-\ :-\ :-\.
