Type IXC accessories

[thomcmdchief]

I received the first five interior sets this afternoon.  What I can say so far is wow!  The parts are incredibly crisp, detailed, good construction diagrams, and there are PE frets for handles etc.  They also include a double edge saw blade in each kit.  I'll try and shoot some pictures tomorrow and post them here.

Yes, please!   
CAD images are nice... but seeing the real products is nicer!

I keep getting a fatal exception message when I load the pic, so I'll try an email and see what happens

Hi thomcmdchief,
 
Are your pics over 750kb each, most cameras now take much bigger pictures now, even phone pictures are larger than 750kb without adjusting. If you are still having problems pm  me and I'll send you my email and I'll make them useable.

Hi Cap, hi thomcmdchief,


thanks for resourcing these detailed pictures. The resin moulds are looking very crisp.

Ohhhh myyyyyyyyyyyyy

So I'm putting things together for the interior, and I have a question I can't find an answer for.  Dougie probably know, so here goes.....which compartments had blue and red night vision lights??? My brain is telling me control room, radio room, birthing areas, perhaps with the exception of the torpedo rooms, galley, and machine spaces had regular lights.  I've found mention online of availability of 1.75 mm x3 mm domed cylindrical shape, with a little work, micro masking tape I could replace the 50-60 explosion proof globes that come with the kit.  Anybody have any thoughts or suggestions?

Hi thomcmdchief
 
Type IX interior seems to be a bit sketchy, from what I can see from interior pictures of the U 505 the original lamps have been removed, or I have been unlucky with the pictures I have, the U 534 interior has no recognisable lamps left.
Going by type VII pictures the general rule would seem to be a white and red light mounted next to each other and an approximate ratio of 3:1 white/red to blue, i.e. in a compartment with 3 red and white lamps there would be 1 blue lamp bearing in mind the blue lamp was for sleeping. I don't know how accurate das Boote is on lighting, but that is what is shown in the film. Exactly what compartments had all 3 colours etc, I'm not sure,I would suggest asking Tore, it would be my guess that the type IX lighting would be basically the same as the type VIIs.

Thanks for the info Jon.....well I'll be talking with Paragfix about the lights, I'll see what they think, I don't want to over-illuminate the crew.
