Hasegawa HP001 Soya Antarctica Observation Ship 2nd Corps. Scale 1/250. Soya was a Japanese icebreaker, research and supply ship of World War II and post-war times. The unit was launched in February 1938. At the end of the service the ship was 83.5 m long, 13.5 m wide and had a displacement of about 4,100 tons. The maximum speed was 12-13 knots. Soya was originally built to order for the Soviet Union as a commercial ship adapted for sailing in northern waters, with floating ice. Her original name was Wołoczajewiec. However, due to political tensions on the Tokyo-Moscow line, the ship was not delivered to the customer and the ship initially became the property of one of the Japanese shipping companies, which bore the name Chiryo Maru. In 1939, however, it was confiscated by the Navy and from 1940 (under the name Soya) served as a research and ammunition transport vessel. The ship happily survived the war and in 1950 was converted into Japan's first Arctic exploration vessel. In the period 1956-1962, the ship traveled on the Japan-Antarctic route, conducting research and delivering supplies to the Japanese polar base Showa (another name: Syowa). In 1978, Soya was decommissioned and converted into a museum ship. We do not ship to the Canary Islands

Italeri 5609 Biber Midget Submarine Scale 1/35. Plastic kit, glue and colors not included. DECAL FOR 3 VERSIONS - COLOR INSTRUCTION SHEET - PHOTO-ETCHED CONTAINS 2 FIGURES The "Biber" was the best-known "pocket" submarine used during the end of the Second World War by the Kriegsmarine. The development of the Biber was extremely rapid. Design began in February 1944 and the first examples took to sea only 6 months later. Just 9 meters long, it had a range of 240 km. It could reach a maximum speed of 6.5 knots when surfacing and 5.3 knots when submerged. The Biber could be armed with two 530 mm torpedoes, mounted externally to the submarine, or with two mines. Its crew consisted of only one person. The use of the Biber, within the Kriegsmarine strategy, was very simple: to provide a concrete defense along the coasts to protect against a possible, and increasingly probable, Allied invasion. From 1944 until the end of World War II, the Kriegsmarine received and put into operation more than 300 Bibers.

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
