My dream of buildning a uboat like that, first came when I was grown-up.

It was when I and some of my friends saw some german from Hamburg had a show with models from WWII, swedish navy, and some others. Their were motorized and almost everything on them could move-Radar a.s.o

Here are a short film from that event.

Hi Nils,

No, I have no experience with it, nor any scale model u-boats yet, but I recently bought a 1:144 (53cm long) VII D "Minenleger".
I would prefer the scale 1:72 instead, but later. :DL

Good question.

It depend on so much.
It have to be a big model, 'cause there have to be room for lots of thing in the model.

engine, Ballast tank a.s.o a.s.o(can't remember what everything is called)

Here's a model that seems to have the right scale. However this model can't be used.
It have only dynamic dive and not static-dive mode.

Those what people are calling life raft canisters are actually where external reserves are.

Reserves for what? Not torpedoes, certainly. They were stored horizontally, and would be longer than the boat is tall if they tried to store them vertically.

They could be where you load the fish into it, because I've never heard of a u-boat having life raft canisters.

Here is how external torpedoes were stored and loaded:

There was only a single loading hatch forward, and another aft.

I took a quick look in my copy of Conways' Anatomy of the Ship: The Type VII U-Boat, and it does indeed confirm it.
