Why would they have four escape hatches in a row? Are they possibly mine-release hatches?

Right,guys,I'll quote the sentence which stays in the manual: "Five man liferafts were stowed in watertight containers on the foredeck"....I think that's it!These longe-range VIIC/41s had life rafts as well,while "normal" VIICs were equipped just with the lifejackets for all crew members....Or am I wrong?But sounds logical to me.
And once again...Thank to all of you,I'm happy that such a great forum exists,that we can share our enthusiasm about everything concerning the submarine warfare.

Very nice.... I must have a different version of the VII Revelle kit as mine only has 1 Flak gun and no Wintergarten.... I bought my kit like 2 yrs ago and just havent got to building it yet (darn work and GWX getting in the way :D )

Thank you!
To Faamecanic: You have probably the second model in this scale and that is VIIC "Wolfpack" with simple conning tower,with one flak,but also with the deck gun.

U997

Great model and the camouflage-drawing is superb!
I'm a newbie here and also in modelling subs but I needed a
challeging hobby after my retirement from the Royal Dutch Marines and
since my greatest hobby diving on shipwrecks is.... makes logic eey :DL
Last year I builded a typ VIIC the U552.
And now busy with also the U997 from Revell scale 1:72.
I noticed that the camouflage on the Revell was a little simple so I took
a little from your ideas and less from Revell :har:.
We'll keep in touch and greetz .
