Pics from my trip to U-995 Laboe

Akula · 04-09-10, 05:21 PM

Hello All

Just got back to Ireland from Germany today. I have uploaded my photos from my trip to the U-995 in Laboe. It was an eye opener, pretty amazing.
The photos have been resized small bit from 1920x1080 to 1440x810. So the details are all there still.

UPDATED with interior and exterior shots. Mind you the interior shots are a bit if a hit and miss with focus and flash. I have uploaded them all in any case. They are also a bit out of order it seems.

Hope you like em'.

Enjoy!

Those are very good shots Gian, thanks for sharing. I thought about making my way there not too long ago, it's still on the list.

Great shots Gian! U-995 looks like a more complete boat than the U-505 that I had a chance to visit in Chicago, and it looks like you got to explore a lot more than I did as well, great job!

Very Nics shots. Any closeup's of the TDC.

Interested in some good Dial Pics.

Very nice, Gien!
I was just there at the end of February and the boat (covered in snow) was closed due to ongoing maintenace. The museum in the memorial was open though. That was great!

Wow, either your friend is tiny or that's a LOT bigger than I'd thought!

Good pictures mate

If you do get the chance to visit, don´t forget to visit the memorial.
It´s a special place, gives you some perspective on things.
Here are some shots from my visit http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=153597

Hope you don´t mind Gien, not trying to hijack your thread here

Thank you. She looks fantastic! I wonder, if the tide came in, and I welded up the doors they put in the side, how much work would it take to get her running?

Is there a working u-boat left in the world?

Habe auch gerade an dich gedacht .. Sicher siehst du die (Holz?)Planken auf dem Deck. Das Deck stört mich noch an deinem Modell, weil dort nämlich die Rumpftextur verwendet wird

vielleicht kannst du ja da irgendwann mal was machen ....
