I'm working on a 1/72 scale Alpha, which will have a Will Oudmayer, home made, piston ballast tank with static diving and auto depth keeping capablities. I should be water testing this boat by the first of the new year. I'm also collecting parts for a 1964 modernzation of a Type XX111 U-boat. According to "THE U-BOAT BOOK" by Rossler, they were increased in length by 1.2 meters to allow for a new generator. Everyone does the Type XX111 as they were during the war. I thought this might be a little differnt. If all goes well I hope to be able to come to the Sub Regatta next year with at least one of them. Best Wishes on your projects. Mike Dory

Alpha.......good choice. ....but I STILL think you should do it in 1:48.

Mike,
I too have the Rossler
Mike,
I too have the Rossler book, so I know what you are talking about when you speak of the 1960s version of a XXIII (Hai/Hecht). What scale do you plan on making it? Will it be 1:32 like your XXIII and your VII?

Tim, Good to hear from
Tim, Good to hear from you. Yup, I have two 32 P. Type XX111 hulls and I looking at cutting out a section and lengthing one of the hulls. Should make a great addition to my U-boat fleet don't ya think. You must admit you don't see many of them. I can use the same torpedo systems as all the other boats and of course a number of other items will be interchangable as well. This should also help keep the cost down a little. But first I need to complete my Alpha. Best Wishes on your projects Mike DoryComment
