Amazing detail. What scale is that?

Here an update of the midsection of the pressure hull and openings that fixes some errors in my earlier drawings. The updates are bases on Oberkommando der Marine drawings, war-time photos, drive videos and the Design and Specification Books, Volume M (Enclosure B to ONI report) from U-570.

Reversion

Main Air Inlet Piping
  • Main air inlet trunking pressure hull opening alignment corrected.
  • Main air inlet trunking pressure hull opening size increase to correct measurement.
  • Main air inlet trunking piping now displays correct number of bolts holes.

Ventilation piping
  • Ventilation piping pressure hull opening alignment corrected.
  • Ventilation piping now displays correct number of bolts holes.

Engine Fuel Oil Piping
  • Engine Fuel Oil pressure hull opening alignment corrected.

Engine Lubricating Oil Piping
  • Engine Lubricating Oil pressure hull opening alignment corrected.

Fuel Oil Compensation Piping
  • Fuel Oil Compensation opening alignment corrected.

Fuel Oil Venting Piping
  • Fuel Oil venting pressure hull opening added.

Here the same update for the pressure hull openings for the Main Air Inlet Trunking and Ventilation piping but this time around the conning tower. The next update should be the piping itself :)

During the last 6 months, Don Prince, Aaron Stephan Hamilton, Tore Berg-Nielsen and I have been working on a research project together on the Type II Schnorchel, which was the final evolution of the Schnorchel during the war. Our research is not finished yet, and I still finishing a few models of pipes and valves. However, below are some renders of the research so far. As you can see from these renders, the standard Type VIIC.

Hi Simon,

Outstanding. I had to use a magnifying glass to see all the little details. You have even got the rivets at the top of the Askania, I didn't even think about rivets being there. I think you are going to 3D print your U 1308 as an actual working boat. I hate to think how many objects your have or how long they take to render.

The deck railing could be black on U 1308. Usually the deck railings (and the railings on the tower) were the same grey as the upper colour. But there were exceptions. U 371, for example, did have black railings. So maybe U 1308 had black railings too.

Cheers,

Dougie
