Thanks everybody, I'm glad you liked my work! Untill I get the other hatch I'll be working on the bridge, I'm still not sure about what I'm going to do with the periscope housing and the UZO, I think it'll be the hardest part of the project.

Question for Greif: did you paint the Schonrkel housing and the Schnorkel itself before fitting it to the deck?

Hi bracco, your boat is looking very nice!  I did paint the snort housing and snort before fitting it to the deck.

By the way, did you get the periscopes yet?

Hello Everybody! Thanks for the nice comments! I'm actually working on the deck and conning tower details. Nothing out of the ordinary has been done so that's why I din't upload any photos. Were the gadgets found on a Type VIIC41' bridge similar to those on the VIICs?

Thanks to the collaboration of Jan, I've almost finished the second water tight container that goes on the conning tower. Now I'm about to build the canister for spare barrels. The canister held barrels for the 37mm or the 20mm guns? Any suggestions about how long should I build it? Any photos of canister of this type are very much appreciated.

Hi everybody, my computer is back in working order so I'll re activate my post. I've been working a lot since my last post. Most of the bridge gadgets have been built except the BBC box. Both periscope housings are done, only the UZO is missing. the outer CG is done and some other things that I'm missing now. Pictures coming soon!

Photos have arrived! First two photos, the attack periscope housing. I've got to say that I'm very proud of this piece, even if I'm not a 100% satisfied with it, it's the best I could do and I think it looks good. One or two little things will be added




Next photo: air periscope housing, voice pipe and speed dial. The BBC box is being built. I'm really glad with how I did this section.



General view of port side with the Schnorkel pipe.



I got a bit bored of building so I tried something on the deck. Tell me what you think




I hope you like what I'm doing!
