MHM Typ XXI Scale 1/144 Conversion

[Guest]

OK firstly thanks go to

OK firstly thanks go to Steve U812 for loading this to his server, as im useless at this stuff.

As mentioned before this video was shot whilst diving in Papua New Guinea, the main dive was a japanese merchant ship that had sunk, and the sub is presumed to have been on deck and rolled off as the ship sank. It looks a bit blurry but the vis wasnt too good, lots of silt and it was about my first attempt at UW video.

only a minute or so long
First shots - dive deck with map showing wreck layout - you can see drawing of the taisho maru on its side and the sub a short distance away

Underwater -
Along the hull and conning tower
Stern shot of plane sand prop
Rear of the conning tower
Bow side-on of the launch tubes
Bow head-on still (taken from video urgh) showing the twin tubes.

Here's the link, please right click and download rather than click and play otherwise Steve gets chewed by his server host.

Hi i have good news

Hi i have good news for some of you
Mario the builder of mine KORYU is willing to make more of this HULL - KITS

1. The Hull Kit includes the hull, deck and tower in one piece and i think polyurethane castings for the vanes and rudder.

2. Who want one?

3. Hoe to get to USA (i did in the past through the airbaes in Frankfurt) perhaps someone knows a soldier at the airbase.

4. The price is for one Kit 130.- euro



Best regards Gantu

Whatever happened to this project?

The only thing I seen was a JAP Sub being built...

Come on.. XXI Uboat.. I own 3-4 of those subs.took the deck from a Revell XXI and placed it on this sub from trumpter..perfect fit!

But I can see where this could be a good project if I had the extra cash in hand... dang cars..

I'm very interested in this myself, I have 3-4 of those boats myself and one is the ROG model so I'm really keeping my fingers crossed.


I just dusted off my S-100 boat project and will be ordering the HC-55 servo from Hitech and my Mini ESC-01 from Tower Hobbies
then I'm ready to do some testing.. after that I will finish up on my Kilo and Seawolf, the Kilo can be finished if I just take about 1-2 hours to setup the rest of the boat.. I seem to remember the coupler for the shalves were the biggest hangup I had before I had to put everything on hold.

Gantu, where did you get

Gantu, where did you get the photos of the XXI? Is there more info on that conversion on a website somewhere? It looks pretty straight forward but just want to verify... Also looks like the sub had to dragged off the bottom and the wall using an antenna...

Thanks

Did you ever get pictures of the steering linkage?

I want to see how it was done!

and what did you do with the rear diving planes?
on the model they are controlled by a ball that floats..
