  • This is an overview of a completed German Type VII model kit in 1/48 scale based off of the Arkmodel kit.
    Original build was completed by Mike Martin. The boat was gutted, with a new 3" SubDriver installed, torpedo tubes and more.
    Thanks to Ed (the new owner) for his patience in this project.
    Thanks for watching!

    As a once crew member of the USS Archerfish (AGSS 311), a WWII fleet boat that won a Presidential Unit Citation for sinking the Shimano Japanese carrier, I can really appreciate this model and, especially, the simulated rust you encrusted your U-boat model with. I was a trained Electronic Technician, assigned to helm and shears watch and deck gang. The electronics was original equipment and should have been in a museum so I was not a good match for the equipment. Have you researched long, floating wire antennas for the radio control (I can guess you don't wan to dive you models too deep for fear of losing them)?

    By far the most niche thing I’ve ever seen on YT! I understand the passion, I’ve been obsessed with model aeronautics since before I can remember but I never get into a situation where my models gets out of sight for even a millisecond, for you sub guys the highlight is submerging and I guess just using your imagination until it re-emerges?

    Pardon me for my ignorance, but limited understanding is that radio waves cannot travel through water, unless if it's VLD/ULF So how do you control the sub? By the way, the model looks great and very realistic!!!

Apparently 6 were rescued by a British destroyer 3 days later. Is this correct?
