Great build Swat and great pics.

Myself is more into building BB from around WW2.

I have been thinking about buildning a uboat, however I had some plan with it.

1 It must be motorized
2 It shall have the possibility to dive, not only throu speed, but also at o km/h
3 A little "spy" camera at the nose of the uboat- The snorkel or some wire would be the link between the camera and my "monitor"-wich I somehow have build together with the remote.

But it was only a dream.

I could offcourse bya Ready-to-run model, but none of them have the possibililty to dive at stand-stil and I had to take the model apart to build-in the camera.

Hei

No it's never to late, it's more the money issue that's my problem to getting started.

Some years ago a friend of mine Björn, who is a owner of a little modelshop( hobbyakuten) showed me a very little cameralens*

I sad to him, manner you have just shown me the right type of lens I should us in my coming uboat.

* He had a wire between the lens and some 3-4 " monitor and the picture was great-Think it was in HD.

Imagine this: You dive and you can see everything* infront of the Uboat, as you slowly sneak ahead towards your target.

* That dependt on the waters quality and how deep you go.

Hei Markus,

I have dreamt of this since I was a little boy I can remember, and today all this is easy to fulfill, but it is as u say, it costs, and it depends on how far u are willing to go.....

Forgot to erase an old e-mail address that I don't use anymore.

My dream of buildning a uboat like that, first came when I was grown-up.

It was when I and some of my friends saw some german from Hamburg had a show with models from WWII, swedish navy, and some others. Their were motorized and almost everything on them could move-Radar a.s.o

Here are a short film from that event.

Hi Nils,

No, I have no experience with it, nor any scale model u-boats yet, but I recently bought a 1:144 (53cm long) VII D "Minenleger".
I would prefer the scale 1:72 instead, but later.

Good question.

It depend on so much.
It have to be a big model, 'cause there have to be room for lots of thing in the model.

engine, Ballast tank a.s.o a.s.o(can't remember what everything is called)

Here's a model that seems to have the right scale. However this model can't be used.
It have only dynamic dive and not static-dive mode.

Those what people are calling life raft canisters are actually where external reserves are.
