This is great my friend!
Help is always welcome!

This first question I do not quite understand!
SH5: DEV Q&A post on Ubi Forum:

Will the ladder in the galley be modeled? Just a detail, but I think it can't do any harm to ask.

The galley hatch is modeled, but the ladder is not mounted since we understand it was not standard practice to have it in place for normal operations.

Of course Tollet is there with detail !

Hi Tomi

For the last two years I have wonder why there was extra holes on the exhaust casing

Hand rail

Also the missing name plate

looney · 12-10-09, 04:41 AM

I'm an engineer and we usually have extra holes in a structure this is to make lifting the piece much more easy. I think they did the same back then.

That is a very good observation. I can imagine they used the holes to move it around, and then used the hole for the hand rail.

I have been thinking for the VIIC I will install the Hand Rail and for VIIC41
If I let it open.
Is it a good idea or?

looney · 12-10-09, 05:55 AM

Was the handrail an afterthought or a design feature.. Or was it a field addition?? If it was a design feature I would do it on the VIIC and not on the VIIC41 (later in war, get uboats ready to fight asap. thus small ergonomic features where left out). If it was a field addition I would
have it only on VIIC41.

Again a topic I do not think about, I only saw the holes and ask why

I think the holes were a design feature. The picture is from U-570, she was laid down in May 1940 and and launched May 1941. So she a early war U-Boat, I would believe they would had keep to the plans and I think you are right near the end of the war they just wanted to get the boat ready to fight.

Thanks, Simon.

Picture from http://www.uboataces.com/u995.shtml

Found the answer to the marking - Voigt & Haeffner A. G.

LOL. It prints onto a plate a lot better than it molds onto the solid metal.

Yesterday, I found this useful U-Boat Training U-Boat Type VIIC It has some useful information on page 39 about the engine room opening in the pressure hull. I found very useful.

I will post in a next few days, just working on the last few things like the Air inlet to the engine room, and the air inlet valve

Happy drawing, Simon.

Fig. 1. Exhaust System.

The exhaust system is nearly finish, it taken me a lots of research, reading, asking questions (thanks again to everyone who is helping me!!!) and drawing to get it all correct. There is lots of detail in the drawing, like the correct scaling of nuts, rivets, piping, plate steel etc... I have added detail of the building hatch (you can see this in the change in the ribbing, and the change in the pressure hull). I have added the forward diesel exhaust valve that leads to the schnorochel (This took me some time to get the correct valve and handle). I am currently working on the exhaust outlet with help. When I will finish I will start working again on the Ventilation system in the Engine Room.
