Model features and information about the submarines

The U-Boat VIIC was the mainstay of the German submarine fleet, operating primarily in the Atlantic from 1940 to 1945. These submarines participated in the most intense combat during the Battle of the Atlantic, responsible for sinking many Allied vessels. The U-Boat IXC, with greater range and capacity, was used for long-distance operations – including patrols around Africa and in the Pacific.

The Hasegawa model accurately reproduces shapes and details, such as conning towers, deck armament, and hull lines. The set also includes decals with historical markings, allowing you to create authentic versions of the submarines from World War II.

Due to the scale and number of small parts, the recommended assembly difficulty is 2/5 – the model will not pose significant challenges for beginner modelers, and fanatics of precise painting will have the opportunity to showcase their skills.
