    On the deck torpedo tubes, strange is that www.dutchsubmarines.com mentioned 4 bow and 4 rear tubes, but not decktubes. Ive seen many foto's of the open dektorpedobuizen doors, and also of O20 having deck tubes, but I wonder if O19 had them during her career. It is known that two of the K-XIV class were refitted in US and THE decktubes were removed then. dont think O19 had such à refit in US. i enjoy following the build, and ive just managed to make THE decktubes of my KXVIII model functional!

    Hi Piet, glad the dinghie drawing worked out! Fred has some amazing sub models! On the deck bulkheads, have you considered shaping the ones in the middle to also be the bulkheads for the Sail? Also in front of the sail there was a pair of under deck torpedo tubes, well visible on some of the O19 pics.i If you want to have the torpedo doors open then you might consider not having bulkheads there! Fantastic build, it already has the distinctive Dutch look! Freek

    Beset Piet As another Dutchman fascinated with old subs, I am glad I found your pages! Over the last 4 years I have built (and sailed) a 1:50 model of the predecessor of your boat, the KXVIII. This boat also had a great history though more prewar. I will follow your build with interest! Freek http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1736478&highlight=k+xviii

About the NRG

If you enjoy building ship models that are historically accurate as well as beautiful, then The Nautical Research Guild (NRG) is just right for you.

The Guild is a non-profit educational organization whose mission is to “Advance Ship Modeling Through Research”. We provide support to our members in their efforts to raise the quality of their model ships.

The Nautical Research Guild has published our world-renowned quarterly magazine, The Nautical Research Journal, since 1955. The pages of the Journal are full of articles by accomplished ship modelers who show you how they create those exquisite details on their models, and by maritime historians who show you the correct details to build. The Journal is available in both print and digital editions. Go to the NRG web site (www.thenrg.org) to download a complimentary digital copy of the Journal. The NRG also publishes plan sets, books and compilations of back issues of the Journal and the former Ships in Scale and Model Ship Builder magazines.
