ICM U-BOAT TYPE IIB (1943) GERMAN SUBMARINE – S.010 SCALA 1:144

Type II U-boats were German submarines whose construction began in 1934. Depending on the subtype, Type II units had a length of 41 m to 44 m, a width of 4.08 m to 4.92 m and an underwater displacement - from 303 tons to 364 tons. The maximum surface speed of Type II U-boats was about 13 knots and the maximum underwater speed was about 7 knots. The main armament consisted of 3 x 533 mm torpedo tubes, all in the bow, with a total of 5 torpedoes or 18 mines carried on board the ship. The secondary armament was 1 x 20 mm AA gun. This type of ships was built mainly at the Kiel and Lübeck shipyards. Type II U-boats were the first submarines built for the German Navy after 1918. In their general assumptions, they were very clearly modeled on the ship built for Finland called "Vessiko". They were consciously treated as ships that should provide the German shipbuilding industry with the appropriate qualifications for the serial production of new types of submarines with increased combat capabilities. Therefore, Type II U-boats were intended for training and coastal defense tasks. They also had many disadvantages: a very limited range, a slow descent process and a low speed under water. During World War II, they were used mainly in the Baltic and North Seas, and to a small extent - after turning the Danube - also in the Black Sea. We do not ship to the Canary Islands

MIKRO-MIR CB CLASS MIDGET SUBMARINES – 72-026 SCALA 1:72

CA is the name of a class of miniature Italian diesel-electric submarines of World War II. Ships of this type were launched in 1938-1941. In total, only 4 ships of this type were built. The CA-class ship was 10 meters long, 1.96 meters wide and had a displacement of only 16.4 tons. The maximum speed under water was up to 5 knots. Ships of this type could be armed with two 450 mm torpedoes. The CA-class ships were initially designed and built as ultra-light coastal submarines. However, during World War II, they were modified for various types of special missions that required advanced stealth. Their construction by the Caproni company was also kept secret. In 1942 and 1943, it was planned that units of this type would be transported across the Atlantic aboard the submarine Leonardo Da Vinci and would launch an attack on American ships docked in New York. Interestingly, the ship was even given a proper modernization, but in May 1943 it sank, and the imminent signing of the ceasefire by Italy made it impossible to implement this plan. All CA-class ships were scrapped in 1943 and 1944. We do not ship to the Canary Islands

Revell 05078 Deutsches U-Boot German Submarine Type XXI with Interior Scale 1/144. The Type XXI U-boats were German ocean-going submarines whose serial production began in 1944. The Type XXI units were 76.7 m long, 6.6 m wide and had an underwater displacement of 1,820 tons. The maximum speed on the surface of the Type XXI U-boats was 15.6 knots, and the maximum speed underwater was 17.2 knots! The main armament of the Type XXI units consisted of six 533 mm torpedo tubes located in the bow. Secondary armament is 2 twin 20mm AA guns or 2 twin 30mm AA guns. The Type XXI U-boats were created in connection with the increasing losses suffered by German submarines in the Battle of the Atlantic, linked to the use of increasingly sophisticated methods by the Western Allies (Combating Submarines). The command of the Kriegsmarine in 1943 decided to create a completely new type of submarine, which turned out to be a technological breakthrough in the construction of this type of unit. First, a large-scale modular structure was used, which significantly reduced the production time of a single vessel. Furthermore, a new type of propulsion was used and a much better hydrodynamic shape of the hull and kiosk was taken care of, which allowed the phenomenal underwater speed of 17 knots for those times! The Type XXI ships also had a long range, a very large maximum depth, and were much quieter than previous German submarines. They also had rich - as at the end of the Second World War - electronic equipment. All these qualities made them an extremely dangerous weapon against Allied merchant shipping in the Atlantic. However, considerable production delays, the Western Allies' offensive bombing of Germany, and the loss of Atlantic ports in 1944 meant that the first Type XXI ships did not enter operational service until March 1945! However, after the end of the Second World War, the acquired copies were intensively studied by the Americans, British and Russians and, to a large extent, marked the development of submarines in these countries until the end of the 1950s!
