Hi list Before I can begin to build a model of U-501 is there anyone on the list who might know of a photograph of U-501 or U-502. I am desperate to view U-501's conning tower and wintergarten. Perhaps someone knows of a reliable link or publication. Welcome your kind assistance with this. Bill

Hi Jon Very important information from your desk. This project is going to tke some time before I have the U-501 model winthin reason. Should you run across additional information it is sincerely appreciated. Makes me wonder how the experts figured out the early background on these uboats. Bill

Hi Jon Thank you for this at least now I have a clearer idea on what to look for. As you mention photos are hard to find seeing it was war years. Perhaps locating a 1/72 scale uboat with a term 0 conning tower then modifying Revell's IXC decking might work. Likely a mammoth project for a 76 year old modeler. Last time I helped my son build a model was some 40 years ago. Suggestions

Hi Jan Very much as I suspected although I can't seem to locate specific images of the Term 0 conning tower at least none that I recognize as such. I did find reference to the book "Kriegsmarine U-boats 1939-45 Osprey publishing. Perhaps there's someone out there knowledgeable of this volume and contents. Might there be a 1/72 scale term 0 kit available ? Bill

From the internet I find conflicting information as to the number of AA guns carried and their location. Might there be a photo out there of U-501 during or post sea trials ???
