Here's the answer to the Schnorkel question. The diagrams are taken from U-historia.com' guided tour of U-995.



The pink pipe takes the exhaust gases to the Schnorkel base belowdecks. The dark blue pipe is the air inteke for the Diesels. You can see that it has a smaller ramification that runs to Schnorkel base. In earlier configurations (so I think) this pipe is the one we see on the pictures I posted, in later configurations (and, perhaps, because it caused drag when submerging) the pipe was located belowdecks like we see in U-995.

You bet, there are tons of incredible information in U-historia technical part the only down side is that it is in spanish (not a problem for me argentinian). I reccomend you to check out the site with the help of an online translator.

Braccon_n i just thought i mention it, the U-482 youd like to build it was of the VIIC type- not the VIIC/41.
It was build in Kiel works in the batch of 22 boats/ actual number of boats built-21 because U-474 was bombed after the launch , and never completed/  The batch stretched from U-465 to U-486.

I'm not fully decided yet about which boat I want to build. Will keep on watching pictures for inspiration.

It's hard to find a suitable boat to represent. Most Type VIIC/41 were surrendered or scuttled or didn't carry out any war patrol. The typical boats are U-995 and U-997 but they have been built many times. I want to build a boat that nobody built. I thought about representing a boat surrendering with the black flag flying from a raised periscope but that's not what I want to represent, I want to show a U-boat in a glorious moment.
I thought about U-300 after it's third patrol, two pennants flying, dark gray colours. But couldn't find any pictures of this boat, can anybody help me?

I found a old drawing I do last year of the Schnorkel system. It may help.

Hi Bill, do you want outside or inside the P. hull? I have both if you need them.
