Ok folks I need some help. I'm currently working on the Turm of the Type XI U-Cruiser and now i'm stuck. I've been working from technical details and blueprints but it hasn't given me enough information to finish the Turm.
First of all there is this problem.
I have no idea what the thing circled in green is. At first I thought it was for the antenna, but if it is the housing for the antenna its twice the size! I know the compass among other things should go here, but if anyone knows or wants to have a guess and help me on this please leave a comment. Especially from you experienced Turm moddelers.
Second problem is circled in red. At first this is where I thought the compass went but there are two of them. I do have a blueprint of what is meant to be there but you can barely see it.
Reading from my U-boat book by Eberhard Rossler. Now I know its not rangefinding equipment as thats behind the periscopes. What they are meant to be are Quote: two special periscopes for artillery spotting.
I am a little familliar with Army artillery spotting binoculars, but if you see where they are located on the bridge, they are quite wide apart.
Agian of anyone knows what this is, please leave a comment.
It also says in my book, later the bridge was given a roofed surface-control platform with portholes, similar to those used in Italian and Japanese submarines. I've found barely anything on this, so do any of you know?
Here is the half finished Turm in 3d.
If anyone can point out where what should go that would help me alot. Before you point out where the UZO should go, the Type XI didn't have any, hence the Rangefinder and artillery spotting scopes.
So Information, Help and Advice appreciated please.
