Model of type VIIb WWII Submarine (for a
diving model the running gear and diving kits must be also purchased)
A big serious
model. U-47 can be made in three versions: as a scale static display mode.
Or with the power set - as a floating
surface working model.
And if you also add the drive set - as a surface-diving working model.
Submarine type VII b
The type VII was world-wide the probably most well-known "U-boat" submarine ever, since
over 1000 in different versions were built for the German Kriegsmarine Navy. This type is characterised by its
particularly sleek lines, which resembles more a ship, than more the modern
submarines which resemble a whale. The Type V11b had increased fuel capacity and
longer range than it's predecessor the type VIIa.
The type VIIb submarine had five torpedo tubes and
an 88mm deck gun. She was fast and agile, thanks to her dual rudders, and could
patrol the North Atlantic for approximately a month at a time.
Type VIIB included many of the most
famous U-boats of World War II, including U-48, U-47 among others.
Kapitan
Günther Prien was one of the outstanding
German U-boat aces of WWII and the first U-boat commander to win the Knight's
Cross. Under Prien's command, U-47 sank over 30 ships totalling about
200,000 tons. His most famous exploit, however, was the penetration of the
minefields at Scapa Flow and sinking of the battleship HMS Royal Oak in
the Home Fleet's base.
U-48, the most successful submarine in the Kriegsmarine sank 55 ships for
321,000 tons, and damaged two more at 12,000 tons on twelve war patrols during
the Second Battle of the Atlantic. Later in the war she became obsolete due to
increasing technology development. U-48 returned to Kiel in 1941and she was
transferred to training duty in the Baltic sea until her crew realising the boat
would be captured, scuttled her in the Bay of Lubeck in 1945.
The Model:
This model of the submarine type VII b is in its standard version and has all structure
components with hull and conning tower mouldings from high-quality hard abs
plastic, which allow a quality model finish for static display. The Rc
functions are got by adding further parts.
The sub-surface operation is achieved by flooding a ballast tank which partially
submerges the model to deck, and the her diving fins take her down when forwards
speed is applied with the throttle.
For
either type of RC operation a suitable drive set must be bought and inserted ...
motors, battery, speed controller(s), and of course a suitable radio control
receiver and servos.

Battleship Bismarck
(running gear not incl)
The Ultimate
Battleship Ever . It is difficult to
describe this kit and do it justice. It is a true supermodel. Very long hull,
true working searchlights with bulbs that light up, triple propellers &
prop shafts, hundreds of metal portholes, brass triple rails, all the big deck
guns, anti aircraft guns, ladders, chains, the deck mounted catapulted
aircraft, dozens of small ships boats, there are thousands of parts in this
model. This is a builders project…and
an inspiring one at that: an accurate replica (a working replica) of the most
famous battleship of them all.
AeroNaut triple prop
battleship Bismarck has a huge
fittings and armaments pack.

Cruiser Nürnberg (running
gear not incl)
More modest in size than Bismarck above, more compact "build"
but very
impressive when on the water.
After World War II, Nürnberg was
transferred to the Soviet Union as a war prize and renamed
Admiral Makarov.
The Nürnberg, was a
German cruiser of the Leipzig class named after the city
of Nuremberg.
While
providing cover for minelaying operations off the British north
coast during 1939, Nürnberg was torpedoed by HMS
Salmon and damaged badly.
She was under repair until spring 1940, and so missed the
Norwegian campaign. From summer 1940 through January 1945,
Nürnberg served either in and off Norway or in German
home waters.
At the end of the war the ship was surrendered to the Allies.
Assigned as a war prize to the Soviet Navy, she was entered on
the Soviet navy records on 5 November 1945 and assigned to the
Baltic Fleet.
In 1946 Nürnberg was renamed Admiral Makarov.
She then served as flagship of the soviet 8th (Northern Baltic)
fleet, based at Tallinn, until 1955.
In February 1957, she was
re-classified a training cruiser and scrapped in February 1959 .
