Torpedo room flooring???
This may seem an odd request but does anyone have any good pics of the floor inside the fore torpedo room of a viic?
Accurate reference for this particular bit is a pain to find, i have good accurate blueprints which show a grating in the forward part of the floor nearest the tubes but no obvious way to stow/remove torpedos from beneath the floor like hatches etc... I have great movies and pics from the interior of u995 courtesy of the sh5 devs but unfortunatly the flooring in u995 is nasty 1970s non slip rubber matting to comply with health and saftey for a tourist site so no help there. A quick flick through some sub movies shows removable floor plates but i really hate to ignore the blueprints and rely on U-571 for reference!

but unfortunatly that pic is the interior of the u995 exhibit at laboe, the flooring is a modern replacement (1970s nonslip rubber stuff), you can see the lower tube doors are obstructed by the raised floor level

If the crew's bunks are folded down, you might see nothing of the floor at all (except of directly in front of the torpedo tubes), if you want to model the room with all 6 spare torpedos in place. Between the bunks (if folded down), only the two spare torpedos lying on the floor side by side can be seen. |
