I have uploaded a updated model to correct a number of very small error in the model.

FuMO-61 Hohentwiel U-boat Radar

The 3D model can be found here.

Hi Snowman,

there is interesting link from AMP Member "Old Noob" posted in the "Non Model Discussions" section:

http://models.rokket.biz/index.php?topic=1319.0

It's a photo report about the surrendered german boats after the end of WW2. Please take a look at the third pictures (caption: "German U-boats Surrender at Lisahally, Near Londonderry, Northern Ireland, 24 - 25 May 1945. U-boat crews unload ammunition and supplies from their craft").

I'am almost sure the picture is showing the alberich coated boat U-1105 (in the rear). If you zoom in, you can spot the rubber tiles grid on the conning tower The compass housing in front of the ct seems to be rubber coated too. The lower part of the Black Panther-emblem on top of the ct can be recognized as well.

Regards
falo

Great spotting!

I have not noted that before... Yes, it U-1105.

U-1105 is the most photographic boat with alberic.

Simon,
Thank you for showing all these fantastic drawings! It is great to go through all this knowlege.
I wanted to improve upon the CMK interior for the engine room, since it became clear to me that it is rather lacking in accuracy.
I hope you have a drawing for the engine room and maybe the engine itself that I can look at?
Thank you for your time and effort!
Regards,
Roel

Great info and illustration! There are some seriously knowledgeable and talented people in this forum.

Schnorchel Restraining Bracket

When the Schnorchel mast is upright it is contained within the Schnorchel restraining bracket, which is located at the top of the conning tower. The schnorchel mast is locked into position by a large locking pin, which is controlled from within the Control Room.

Tore, grease line I estimate about 8 mm?

FuMB Ant. 3 - Bali I antenna

This radar detections antenna FuMB 3 - Bali was used with the FuMB-1 Metox, FuMB-7 Naxos U, FuMB-8 Cypern I, FuMB-9 Cypern II and the FuMB-10 Borkum radar detections.

I will upload the 3-D model soon.

For all my drawings I always try to use as many of the original German measurements I can. I haven’t got a full set of original German measurements for the Schnorchel. So I used what I can find from both the Type VII and Type IX measurements and presuming that the Germans use both the same Schnorchel mast for each boat.

I just realise that the Schnorchel masts measurements are not the same for both the Type VII and Type IX this means that all my Schnorchel drawings are incorrect. So caution is needed if using my Schnorchel drawings.

I will correct this, but it will take me a few good days to do this.
 
You may notice this is the second time (http://models.rokket.biz/index.php?topic=1166.msg18402#msg18402) that one of my drawings measurements are incorrect in the last few weeks. The reason why I picking up these errors now is because I am modelling parts of the U-boat in 3D. Modelling the U-boat in 3-D takes a lots more time to do but I’m picking up errors in my measurements quite easily.
