About product

U-Boot SM U9 1:72 - Das Werk

An injection-molded plastic kit of the German submarine SM U9 of the First World War period from the manufacturer Das Werk in 1:72. It is a large and richly detailed model with a well worked-out hull surface; the package contains optionally openable or closed hatches and torpedo doors, optional masts and a display stand. The finished model measures over 80 cm. The kit is supplied unassembled and unpainted.

The real subject

SM U9 (Seiner Majestat U-Boot 9) was a submarine of the Imperial German Navy with a double hull and kerosene-electric propulsion. She wrote herself into history on 22 September 1914, when in a single action she sank three British armored cruisers, Aboukir, Hogue and Cressy, and a few weeks later the cruiser Hawke as well. That success shocked the world and showed in full how dangerous a weapon submarines had become in modern naval warfare.

Building and painting tips

First join and fill the hull halves carefully, so that no seams show; on a submarine a smooth hull is essential. Decide in advance whether you will leave the hatches and torpedo doors open. The fine surface detail of the rivets is brought out with a thin wash into the recesses. Use the enclosed stand for display; paint the conning tower and the superstructure separately and fit them only after the base coat has been sprayed.

Who the model is for

  • For enthusiasts of naval history and First World War submarines
  • For collectors of ship subjects in 1:72
  • For modelers who will appreciate a large, detailed hull
  • For builders looking for a striking piece on a stand for a display case

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