Not sure what help it is that you want, but if you could make your question again, I will try to help.  The mounting you are looking at is the standard Kriegsmarine naval mounting for the 37mm Flak.  You will find it on U-boats, E-Boats, destroyers and large ships such as cruisers and battleships. 

Pas sure quelle aide c'est que vous voulez, mais si vous pourriez faire votre question encore, j'essayerai d'aider. Le support que vous regardez est le support naval standard de Kriegsmarine pour le feu antia

Hi Nicolas.

You are right there seems to be two different mounts for the 3.7m. I had not noted this before. I will look in to this on my next days off work. I will let you know what I found.

But a first look at this mounts it looks more like a late-war style. It look clearer, and more simple, also folding the shields back would had help with underwater boat speed a little bit.

Nicholas (Le Bosco)

Yes, the gun on the U-boat is a 37mm FlaK on an M42 naval mount. 

Here is another picture and some specifications for the gun.  It also shows the sights if you look closely.

http://www.navweaps.com/Weapons/WNGER_37mm-69_mk42.htm

In the pictures you have of the gun on submarines, I think it is exactly the same except that boat on the left has only the starboard shield folded while the one on the right has both sides of the splinter shield folded in. 

In the picture of U-1023, it's difficult to make out exactly what gun is installed.  It MIGHT be the same gun just rotated at an odd angle and perhaps with part of the splinter shield cut down for faster speed when submerged.

HI all

Bracco , I had promised the photos of "pipes"
The manufacturing of the new mast of the schnorchel


 






 


 


Everything is maintained in a temporary way, because I have to make moulding in resin

And finally the realization of a piping presents on starboard port on most of the VII-C/41




 



 

I think that the Germans engineers we make of improvisations!!

Excellent work you're doing Le Bosco!  Your ductwork is looking really good.

I'm sure you're correct, that the Germans were masters of improvisation.  They had to be during wartime with supplies being scarce and sources being bombed on a regular basis.  They wouldn't know what meterial was available from one boat to the next.

But improvisation I think is a hallmark of marine building.  I have my own sailboat, and every time I see one of the same marque as my own, I always go to inspect it.  I've never seen two exactly the same.  That seems to hold true with other types of boats too.  Superficially they all look approximately alike, but when you get close and look at the actual fittings, there's always differences.

You're building the same type VII C/41 from Revell that I am, although I've modified mine a lot to represent a different boat, so I'm familiar with the model.  However, the splinter shield on your 37mm FlaK looks much more detailed than mine did out of the box.  Did you add the details, such as the hingesetc., or have they changed the moulds at Revell?  The shield on mine started out completely flat.

Not that it's stayed flat BTW.  I not only added the hinges, I made them operating so the shield on mine folds, IF you unlock them by pulling the levers that stick out at the side and go to to the braces in the centre.  I think my 37mm ended up about 75 pieces.  Far more than the kit out of the box.

Hi Pat

The work which you describe me on your shield is hallucinating!You made a functional shield?If it is the case bravo and I would like to see photos of your "masterpiece"
I becomes crazy with my story of 37mm, in spite of my search I do not find at the moment many things

Bracco

In anticipation of other assemblies ,I was made another head of schnorchel





But also a new "pair of shoe"!!!!

Otherwise for my 37 mm problem, I have to find another photo or we see good that it is not about an naval mouting M42!There is well another,and this 37 is manual!!!!



It is a scene of maintenance, the tube of the cannon is deposited.Apparently we also find this 37mm on the IX-C40. This somebody finds something!! Thank you in advance

On the other photo of the sailor climbing the ladder it does look like the "internal plate pattern" right enough.

Hi Pat

I becomes crazy with my story of 37mm, in spite of my search I do not find at the moment many things

Bracco


The functional shield is actually quite easy, and from the terrific work you've posted, I don't think you'd have any problem with it at all.

Unfortunately, between computer problems I've got with graphics on this site, and lack of a digital camera other than my cellphone (which takes pictures too fuzzy and from a long distance to properly show), I can't post photos yet.  (I'm still trying to figure out how.)

But I will describe what I did for the shield and gun.

First, sand the shield as much as possible to make it thinner since is it is too thick for scale. 

The shield, as you can tell from the photos of real ones, folded at two places.  So I used a hot knife I have (basically a soldering iron with the solder tip replaced with an X-acto blade), I cut the shiled into three pieces as per the photos.

Then I made 6 hinges, 3 for each joint, to work just like in the photos.  To make the hinges, take a piece of small brass rod.  Wrap some thin brass shim around the rod, and cut to make it a square plate of the same size as the hinge in the photos.  Notch out the top part of the shim that wraps around the rod so that it covers only half of the rod.  Now make a similar plate out of shim for the other side but with the notch at the bottom. 

Fit the two ship plates together with the notches fitting into each other and then cut the rod so that none of it shows outside of the shim.

Use CA (cyano-acrylate glue) to glue the rod to the bottom shim plate.

Make 5 other identical hinges. 

Glue the 6 bottom shim plates onto the middle part of the shiled (the part that the gun and mounting are on).  this will leave the exposed parts of the rods sticking up on each side of the middle plate.

Now, set the outside parts of the shiled onto the rods so that the shim plates fit over the rods.  This will let the shiled plates fold.

To make the locks, drill holes in the front of the supports that hold the middle shiled piece to the mounting bracket at the front of the pedestal.  Make rods of the appropriate length so that the oblong handle sticks out on each side of the folding part of the shield, and the inner point of the rod fits into the holes drilled in the mounting bracket.  (Note, the port side rod is slightly longer than the starboard)

Create a shallow trough on the folding shileds by gluing a small sliver of plastic on either side of the locks.  Lay the locks into the shallow troughs just made, and then glue small rods over top of the troughs or make small U-shaped pieces of rod that will go over.  (I used the U-shaped method and drilled through the shields so that just a tiny bit protruded through the other side to look like rivets which I saw in some photos of the real ones.)

Make sure that the locks are still able to slide in and out of the throughs just made, but will be held in place by the U-bolts.

Now, you can lock the shields in the open position by pushing the locks into the holes in the mounting brackets, or you can leave the shield in the folded position by pulling the locks out slightly so that they don't fit into the holes.

Attach the appropriate stops on the face of the shield so that they don't fold past 90 degrees.

To make the gun rotate, drill a hile in the basse of the pedestal the same thickness as a large paper clip.  Straighten out a paper clip and glue in the hole you just drilled so that it sticks down 2 or 3 centimeters. 

Take a wooden dowel or scrap plastic sprue and drill a hole through the middle the same size as the paper clip.

Drill a hole in the deck the same size as the paper clip in the middle of where the pedestal will sit.

Stick the paper clip through the hole and put the drilled dowel on the underside of the deck over the paper clip that protrudes.  This dowel will make the bottom of the gun mount that is inside the base of the wintergarten.  Line up the holes for the paper clip, then glue the hollow dowel taking care that no glue gets on the paper clip. 

If you have drilled out the drainage holes along the sides of the conning tower/wintergarten, you will vaguelly be able to see this pedestal from outside, so shape it as needed to give the appropriate silhouette when see through the drainage holes. 

Make sure that the paper clip extends longer than the dowel, it can go through the deck into the casing if desired.

Assemble it all together and glue a cap over the part of the paper clip that extends outside of the pedestal so that it can't be pulled out.

The reason why you want the paper clip to be so long as to go through the deck into the cassing is that the longer you can make the paper clip, the smoother the gun will rotate without wobbling.

To make the gun elevate, assmble it in the mounting but do not glue.  Locate where the trunnion (pivots) will be and drill a hole the same size as the paper clip through both the mounting brackets AND the gun barrel.  Make a trunnion out a short piece of paper clip and cover the ends to look like in the photos.

There, now you have a gun that elevates/depresses, rotates and the shields open and fold shut just like in the real ones.  The added advantage of using brass rod/shim and paper clips is strength.  These pivots and hinges will be far stronger than the original parts, but still operate like real.

Hi all

Thank you Pat for the description of your flak!, i am sad not to see pictures,i am on that that was worth being seen

I puts of pictures of the departure of the construction of my 826(By hoping not you annoy)
 
the top of the pressure hull in progress of arrangement with diverse materials, thread of weld, resin,and plastic, the whole is realized according to a plan, I do not push the detail, because I just want to have no impression of "empty" under the deck



The same almost finishes but with the parts is assembly in a temporary place



The same place with the basic paint



And finally, with the totality of the painted stuck parts and with the beginning of the weathering



see you latter

"Tins" in French, en anglais is "chocks", and that's exactly how you are using them.

But why are you molding them in resin?  I would make them each individually out of wood, with a little strap of paper or plastic to represent the metal brackets.  That way, they'd all be slightly different and real wood would look much more like, well, real wood than resin.

As an example, when last I built a sailing ship model, even though I had all the gun carriages from the kit, I remade them all out of wood and there were slight imperfections introduced in each one which made the overall effect much more realistic in the end.  The "tins" (or chocks) are much easier to make and you can buy balsa or even hardwoods in square section that can be distressed (dented, worn) to make them look like wood that's been sitting around the dockyard and is just put in place as needed.

As for the parre battement, I can't find a translation of that into English but from the picture, I would call them "fenders" or rope fenders (to differentiate them from modern plastic fenders).

A comment on the fenders you've made.  I'd make the loops at the top and the knot on the railing VERY small.  In real life, you want to use as little rope as possible both to save on rope and to stop them from slipping and wearing along the railing.  The knots tighten up at the rail and the loop at the top of the fenders is spliced or whipped in place.

Also, the proper knot to use at the railing is the bowline.  http://www.tollesburysc.co.uk/Knots/Bowline.htm

instead of the half-hitch in your picture.  A bowline won't slip but the half-hitch will.

I'd also make each of the fenders individually out of thread (you should be able to get rope coloured thread at sewing centres or hobby shops (at least those here) have scale rope for sailing ship models) because again, each one would be slightly different and some would be more weathered than others. 

Unlike the tins/chocks, you would only need to make 3 or 4 fenders.

Your model work is VERY good BTW.

Oh, another knot that could be used to attach the fender to the railing is the rolling hitch.

LOL, you and I have a different philosophie then on the wood.

I haven't done anything too special on the base for my U-boat, unlike what looks to be shaping up to a dockyard for yours.  All I've done is cut a brass nameplate with gothic lettering for the OOB base.

But as for wood and the deck, I've basically thrown out the deck on my boat (after taking down all the measurements of course) and am building my own.  Partially this was because I didn't want the schnorkel and covering the hole it was too difficult to match the kit planks.

So Ive been building my own deck out of wood with all the crossbeams underneath and all the hatches as individual assemblies.  Most of the large hatches will have hinges to open up so as to expose the pressure hull.

I've got most of the deck frames built, but the only decks completed are in the conning tower and wintergarten.  However, even that small area amounts to 119 separate pieces of planks. 

I estimate that to do the entire deck might end up over 1,000 planks, not counting the hinges and latches and framework underneath, which might be another 1,000.

Ah, NOW I see what you were talking about regarding the 37mm mounting.  I was mistakenly looking at the splinter shield and not seeing any difference, but now that you've made the part, it's quite obvious.

It looks almost futuristic.  Sort of like old time science fiction comics, which is perhaps where the idea came from (or vice versa?).

Yes, your photos DO have a profession, studio look about them.  I was taught how to do photography like that with light tables and such way back when I was working in pathology, but that was in the days of celluloid film and I don't have the equipment any more.  But your pix DO look good!

So does your resin work.

Your insulators in the molding blocks look much like some of the frames for the deck I'm building out of styrene I-beams and T-beams.  If you can do that detailed work, you'd have no problem framing up a deck like I'm doing.

The beginning of the work realized on the pipe of the air inlet of the schnorchel.
the pipe is realized with the sprue, the crown is made in slices of plasticard realized with the punch .The bolts are made with stretched sprue cut in small portions and stuck





the weldings on the pipe are realized with the stretched sprue (in blue)

The manufacturing of the "air plug " presents on the new  mast of the schnorchel  (It is necessary to assure a good alignment)










Everything is maintained in a temporary way, because I have to make moulding in resin

And finally the realization of a piping presents on starboard port on most of the VII-C/41

The mesh was to save metal, but not to save metal around the reling. The boats had order, if possible, to collect the empty shells. The meshs avoid that all the emtpy shells going to the sea.
God input from Pat and Wink, it also increased the safty for the crew, more men on deck when increasing the AA guns. When they all use a safty belt they can not fight they will be twistet. Ok normaly a sub will never go in a gun duell with a sub hunter plane in bad weather. I don`t know if the secound reason was planned by HQ, the first reason to save metal was an order by HQ.

Once dry, I clear up the center of everything panels, with a "micro nuts of white paint"
that I stretched with a flat brush ! .a dark brown is  deposited in a random way has the  base of the bars of ladders, rails, and the other hinges

Nicolas and Siara, regarding the capstan.  (It looks great BTW Nicolas)

I was wondering if there's a standard capstan for U-boats and they should all be like the one on U-995, or if like most shipyards, they'd just use whatever capstan that was available that was the correct size and gearing for the boat.

Most modern boats, you might have two boats of a type, identical in hull and most other features, but the capstan is something that is different for each one.  The yard just uses whatever it can get at the time that's the right size and price, and 6 months later on the next hull unit, it might be a different manufacturer or model number that's used depending on what's available.

Just a thought.  I have no proof either way but that's how boatyards do it today.

Almost like when building houses, during a subdivision that might take a couple of years to finish, the houses might all be built to the same architectural plans and look almost the same, but the light fixtures, appliances and furnaces might differ one house from another.

                 BTW... Yes, there are limited photos of capstans. I understand they were
         also "retractable". Anyone seen photos in that position ??

Hi gents

Pat
For once, apparently, all the capstans are identical, on the VIIC, B


Sorry for the quality off the pictures ,but the close up arrange nothing!

billp51d

the capstan it is not retractable but it is removable .It is apparently necessary to loosen the "handle" which is above , to remove the capstan and a plaque has obstructed the "Tree power"

Nico, perhaps for some reason then they needed a design that could be submerged to great pressure then. so it was specific to U-boats?  Something like a sealed bearing race that the water coldn't get into?

Yes, I've seen where the capstans have been removed.  In most of the pictures, it looks like they cover the hole with a piece of plywood or other sort of sheet, I presume to prevent seamen from getting their feet caught in the hole.

Does anybody know where they store the capstans when removed?  My guess would be somewhere under the casing.
