Hi Gentlemen,

sorry if I'am a little bit late with this attached drawing (don't want to derange things here). It is a composite from F. Koehlers classic book "Vom Original zum Modell – IXC". I just brought the gun and the measurement bar with Photoshop together.

Regards
falo

Another piece of evidence that supports the overall gun length of 4.74m   (as opposed to 5.81m)

Hello together,

i wonder about all these failures.
It seems nobody was at the original 10,5cm SK C/32 in 10,5cm Ubts LC/36 to check all the dimensions.
I know there is one in Belgium in a Museum (Atlantikwallmuseum Raversijde).
Look here:
http://www.atlantikwall.mynetcologne.de/Atlantikwall/Belgien/AOK%2015/KVA%20A/B-StpTirpitz.html

Scoll down to "671 - Schartenstand für Geschütze auf mittlerer Sockellafette (120°) ohne Nebenräume"

I check all photos i have. 10.5 is much bigger than the 8.8. But Eduard maybe is a little to big.


Is there another 10.5 in a museum anywhere?
I know some 8.8 but only this one 10.5 in Belgium.

Maybe someone lifes near the Museum and could check dimensions?

Is that gun one of the later versions used on the Type IX boats?

Any/all information is appreciated.

Hi uboatfan, Glenn et al,

The gun in Belgium looks to be an ex U boat gun, probably removed from a type IX in 1943 and put into use by Rommel in his attempt to shore up the Atlantikwall. From the pictures it has been modified to have seats rather than U braces. It has a foot brace in view and I would suspect that it may well have a foot operated trigger. One problem though, it will be impossible to measure the barrel length, due to the way it is displayed.
There are some 10.5cm gun around Europe, but be careful, as most of them seem to be ex surface ship guns, with a different mount and barrel so are unsuitable for comparison measurements. These guns are distinguished by having 2 rings on the barrel (see photo) and there is no guarantee that the barrels are the same length. There is a U boat 10.5cm in Duxford at this time, but it is a WW1 gun.

[/size]Glenn, I have sent a message to Eduard about the scale issues.

Hi,

Yes i know about the huge variants of german 10,5 cm guns.

Look at this page: http://forum.axishistory.com/viewtopic.php?t=183889&start=15
This is an ex-u boat gun. reused at surface vessel (Minelayer ?). Somewhere in Germany (?).
The mount and barrel looks like on Type IX boats.

On the other pages at this Threat you will find some drawings. Maybe they are usefull.

Regards,

Uboatfan

Wow, I haven't been here for quite awhile, but I'm still waiting for the final two interior sections, the engine room, diesel and electric I hope, and the aft torpedo room, and pics of the exterior products.  I received an email today, and the release date for the remaining sections is now pushed back to mid March.  So now what do I do?????   :(

The interior sets you want haven't been released yet, or they are just out of stock?
There's a hobby shop in Toronto, Ontario that has a lot of the interior sets in stock... and they do mail order.  :)
Send me a PM if you want to go that route.

Otherwise if they are items not yet released... well... the waiting game goes on.  :(

I recently sent CMK a message letting them know about Eduard's oversized 10,5cm deck gun, and expressed hope that they did NOT use the same inaccurately-scaled plans to make their own version of the gun.

Hi Dan,

The hobby shop in Toronto, ON is "Wheels & Wings Hobbies" : 

Website: www.wheelswingshobbies.com
Phone: 1-416-752-0071
E-mail (general inquiries): info@wheelswingshobbies.com

To put it mildly, they are an AMAZING shop!     The last time I was there a few months ago, they had most of the pressure hull sections in stock.
I am fairly sure they would be willing to ship to the US.

Order with confidence, they are very good & pleasant to deal with.

Best of luck!
Glenn

Hi Gentlemen,


the german journal "Modellfan" awarded MPM's inner sections of the IXC with the title "Model of the Year" (aftermarket parts category). Here are some pictures taken during the Toy Fairy Nuremberg 2015 from a member of IPMS Germany.

Please start with picture 026 (link below) and click "Nächtes Bild":
http://www.ipmsdeutschland.de/Ausstellungen/Nuernberg2015/Bilder_AT/MPM_Group_026.htm

"036" is the last picture in this matter.
