The FuMO-61 Hohentwiel U-boat radar entered service early in 1944. It was a modification of the aircraft radar FuG 200. The antenna of the FuMO 61 consisted of 24 vertical, end-fed, half-wave dipoles arranged in four horizontal rows. Behind the dipoles was wire-mesh 1,4 m wide and 1 m high, which acted as a reflector.
The 3-D model is base on original German measurement and wartime photographs.
Colours are base on the original standard Kriegsmarine paints colours that include Blaugrau 58/1 (A medium to dark grey with a hint of blue), Blauschwarz 58/2 (A very dark blue), RAL 9005 (Black), RAL 9001 (Cream) and RAL 9010 (Pure white). Other colour includes from the Ostwald's color circle are Grün 22 pa and grau g.
