Wants to model a better sight for the Flak 38

[gimpy117]

According to what Ive seen the Flak 38 has a better reflector sight called the
Visierkopf 38/40

I kind of want to model one in autocad...but first off i need to know if i can export it in autocad 2010 and secondly I need drawings...anybody wanna help?

:hmmm:
And I'm sure someone could convert your exports if needed.

thats the one! :up:...the only problem is that i would need dimensions radii, etc. to do it accurately...hrm...

Im actually thinking that the U-boat would not really have this...if anything it would be the Linealvisier 21 or similar device because the Visserkoph looks to be electrical and would most likeley be pressure and water sensitive...

heres one here....

Here's a line drawing of that one.

I could find no mention that U-Boats ever used the other one.
From other pictures and this drawing to start with,
one could figure out the scale pretty closely.
I'll check to see if I have other reference photos and such.

I agree with you privateer I don't think a boat would have a complicated electrical device...water seems to be bad for those

I suppose i can print it out and measure it with a ruler to get the ratios right it will be pretty close although the view is a little bit paralax.

it wont be for a week or so for serious work...Blame my college finals
