AFV Club Unbekannt SE73504 – Model Kit U Boat Type 7 °C41

Highly detailed 1/350 scale assembly and painting required plastic model kit of the famous German U-Boat ("Unterseeboot" or "Undersea Boat"), a military submarine operated by the German Navy in World War I and World War II. U-boats were highly successful in destroying Allied supply and merchant shipping in both world wars, and it wasn't until the Allies adopted the convoy system in World War II, in which merchant ships were grouped together and protected by a screen of escort vessels, that U-Boat menace was finally tamed. The German Kriegsmarine ("War Navy") further developed U-Boats in the Second World War, leading to a new generation of more technologically advanced U-Boats such as the Type VII, which was by far the most produced type. This AFV Club 1/350 scale assembly kit depicts the Type VIIC41 U-Boat, the slightly modified Type VIIC with a stronger pressure hull allowing it to achieve a deeper test depth and lighter machinery to compensate for the added steel in the hull. Model kit features: Choose to construct in waterline or full display model. *Simple pressure hull is included. *Option of either using plastic or photo-etched handrails. Finished 1/350 scale model of a Type VII U-boat is roughly 7 and 1/2 inches long.
