Description: German Submarine Type XXI - Revell 05177Brand NEW This is a 1/144 scale model of the Submarine U-boot type XXI. By the beginning of 1945, Germany had the world's most sophisticated submarine, the Type XXI. Owing to many technological advances, it was able to operate underwater continually, as the diesel engines pulled the fresh air they needed through a special snorkel. The design improvements plus triple the battery capacity, provided an unheard-of underwater speed of 17 knots. Other advances included low-noise electrical motors for silent-running, extremely sensitive navigation devices, and 2 cm anti-aircraft gun turrets. The U2540, a Type XXI U-boot, was lost in May 1945 but was retrieved and lifted in 1957 and can currently be toured as a museum. The kit contains 50 parts and the finished model is 531 mm long. 2022 New Release 50 pieces for assembly Authentic markings are included for multiple submarines Detailed instructions are included EAN: 4009803051772
