Thank You Sabalo.
I personaly wouldnt go as far as "perfect replica", but it brings me pleasure to better the revell kit. There is a lot of guesswork in everything i do /like the pipe in front section/, the pictures are rare, and there was no two identical boats. I like to research every step as i go along, but sometimes /like the tank vents/ i only find out stuff from fellow forum members. I like the idea of building the boat slow step by slow step, and just see it grow and take shape. Knowing that some of You enjoy it also brings me joy. BTW- im planning on finishing it for 14 sep -the day it was launched. |

I wish it was out of the way Bert8for3. Long way to go still.
Im far from rushing the project, but i crave doing something diferent for the change- like 88mm gun, or conning tower. To paint something would be nice. I know it needs to be done , and it needs to be done now. Otherwise ill never make it. Beauty of it is, everything after the deck is in place will be piece of cake. |

Middle section of the Inner pressure hull.
Its made out of resin, and support is needed. Few styrene profiles were added between the fixing points to prevent it from sinking. The 88mm gun mount. Couple of pictures taken from the book U-Boott VII vol 1 by Marek Krzysztalowicz. Resin part by White Ensign Models is about the half the hight required. It is also of the wrong shape, as it only has single fins on the front and back. I have sanded it flush with the pressure hull, and made the new one with styrene. The most important thing is - the opening in the deck lines up with the mount nicely now. TBC... |

Hi Siara,
I Know it's been a while, but yes i'm still here! U-69 has had to take a back seat as i've got some serious work commitments and have to decide on a new carreer path within the rail industry. Do you have a copy of Anatomy of the Ship, Type VII U-boat, By David Westwood? There are some quite detailed drawings of the anchor chain storage box and anchor windlass drum, which is attached to the removable capstan by a shaft. This is drawn up in plan and side elevation on page 84/85. Well done on the 'sticky' a build well worthy of such an accolade! PM me if you need help as regards the above drawings. Sav. |
