Discover the fascinating world of sophisticated model making with our model kit of the German submarine class IX C/40 "Platinum Edition". This exclusive kit in an impressive 1:72 scale, with a length of 1063 mm, width of 95 mm and height of 225 mm, offers an exceptional model building experience. With a part count of 800 pieces, this kit is particularly suitable for experienced modelers and carries the age rating of 13+.

The attention to detail and authenticity of this model is second to none due to the integration of high-quality photo-etched parts, metal tubes for the guns and a self-adhesive wooden deck. In addition, the model is characterized by a movable snorkel mast, an Atlantic bow and retractable periscopes. The detailing continues with a 2 cm twin anti-aircraft gun on a rotating mount and a highly detailed 3.7 cm anti-aircraft gun.

The model represents the most frequently built submarine class in history. The Type VII C/41, known for its "large conservatory" with additional armament and the 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 detail and at the same time offers a tribute to the engineering art of the time.

The kit is ideal for experts (Level 5) who have in-depth knowledge and skills in model making. It offers a challenging yet rewarding experience for anyone who wants to get involved in gluing, painting, and detailing models at an advanced level.
