About product

U-Boot Type XXI with interior 1:144 (Revell)

Injection-molded plastic kit of the German Type XXI submarine of the end of the Second World War in 1:144 scale from Revell. The special feature of this box is the interior on show: the model has the hull cut away on one side and so reveals the internal layout of the submarine. It is a more detailed project of higher difficulty.

The real subject

The Type XXI was a German submarine that, at the close of the Second World War, represented a marked technological leap. Thanks to its streamlined hull shape, a far greater battery capacity and a snorkel it could run long and fast below the surface without having to come up. Submerged it reached a speed of around 17 knots, which made it the most advanced submarine of its day. Only a handful of these boats reached operational service, however, and their concept shaped the postwar development of submarines.

Building and painting tips

First finish and paint the internal fittings that are visible in the cut-away, and only then close up the hull. Work with thin cement for plastic and apply a primer before painting. Put the exterior on with an airbrush; for the interior details a brush and water-soluble shades suit well for picking out the machinery and equipment. Consider whether to display the model on a stand or as a waterline.

Who the model is for

  • Collectors of submarines and naval subjects of the Second World War
  • Modelers who want a model with the interior on show
  • More experienced builders looking for a more detailed project
  • Fans of German submarines and their technical development

The model is supplied unassembled and unpainted. Glue, paints and accessories are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.

FAQ

One side of the model's hull is cut away, so the internal layout of the submarine is visible, including the engine room and the other compartments. It pays to finish the interior before closing up the hull.

The kit is in 1:144 scale. The Type XXI was a large boat, so even the finished model is fairly long.

Because of the higher parts count and the internal fittings it is better suited to more experienced modelers.
