Street fighter Posted April 2, 2021 #1 Posted April 2, 2021 Hi, can anyone tell me the difference between u505 and u534. I fancy building the revell kit u505 but it appears you need a conversion kit to turn it into u534. Thanks in advance. Canute and thibaultron 2
ccoyle Posted April 2, 2021 #2 Posted April 2, 2021 U-505 is a Type IXC boat, while U-534 (launched over a year later) was a slightly larger Type IXC/40. Beyond that, I do not what the differences are, but that should get you started. mtaylor, Canute and thibaultron 3 Chris Coyle Greer, South Carolina When you have to shoot, shoot.

Chuck Seiler Posted April 2, 2021 #3 Posted April 2, 2021 The other difference is that U505 is currently in Chicago and U534 is not. It's in England.

ccoyle Posted April 2, 2021 #5 Posted April 2, 2021 1 hour ago, Chuck Seiler said: U534 is not. It's in England. Ah -- I hadn't realized that U-534 was also a museum ship. I just assumed it's present location was somewhere on the bottom of the Atlantic. I learned something today.

lmagna Posted April 2, 2021 #6 Posted April 2, 2021 I am no expert on U-Boats, but I believe the major visible external difference between the two boats was that the U-534 was Snorkel equipped. thibaultron, Canute and mtaylor 3 Lou Build logs: Colonial sloop Providence 1/48th scale kit bashed from AL Independence Currant builds: Constructo Brigantine Sentinel (Union) (On hold) Minicraft 1/350 Titanic (For the Admiral) 1/350 Heavy Cruiser USS Houston (Resin) Currant research/scratchbuild: Schooner USS Lanikai/Hermes Non ship build log: 1/35th UH-1H Huey
