The technique: The diving process of this model is semi-dynamic, which means that a pump and a water tank are included in the diving kit, which however only supports dynamic diving (at sustained speed). ![]() The basic box allows you to build the model in static version, while the additional kit S02120311 contains all the parts and accessories to prepare the transmission of the static version to the sailing version.Īll assembly parts as well as the two barrels are included in the basic construction kit. Thanks to its various parts including the ABS plastic shell, this model is much easier to make. The structure of the tower is also composed of several deep-drawn ABS parts. The hull of the VII submarine consists of two ABS half-shells, a submersible tank, a ballast tank and a deck made of thin deep-drawn material, so that all slots and openings are clearly visible. The construction and piloting of submarines have always fascinated modelers.īut many have hesitated to start building such models because of the unsuitability or complexity of the plans. This type is characterized by its particularly harmonious line shape, which looks even more like a ship than that of more modern submarines. The Type VII was probably the most famous submarine in the world, as more than 1000 units were built in different versions. 106594 U -BOOT TYP VII 491.59 491.59 USD InStock 1001Hobbies/ 1001Hobbies/RC models/ 1001Hobbies/RC models/RC Boats/ 1001Hobbies/Gift ideas/ 1001Hobbies/RC models/RC Boats/RC electric boat/ 1001Hobbies/RC models/RC Boats/Submarine RC/ 1001Hobbies/Events/ electric-RC Boat
