Background information:

The model represents the most frequently built submarine class in history. The Type VII C/41, known for its “large winter garden” with additional armament and erectable snorkel mast, played a central role in naval warfare during World War II. This edition makes it possible to recreate a piece of history in every detail and at the same time offers a homage to the engineering skills of this time.

This is an unassembled plastic model kit. Assembly and painting required. Paint and glue is not included and is sold separately. For ages 14 years old and up. NOT A TOY.
