Product Overview

U-boat TYP VIIC/41 plastic model kit From the Manufacturer
Starting mid-1943, 91 u-boots Type VII C/41 have been launched. By then, the
conditions of the battle had totally changed. The "wolfpack tactic" seldom
achieved positive results against better protected convoys, especially with
the introduction of air umbrellas. With the aim of a better defense when
surfaced, the Type VII C/41 u-boots were fitted with a modified, larger bridge
called "large wintergarten (winter garden)" armed with two 20 mm flakzwillings
and one automatic 37 mm M42U flakkanone, which are reproduced with precision
in the kit. A swiveling snorkel mast for fresh air and fume exhaust, and four
pressure boxes with 5-man floats were additional typical of these boats. The
use of better steel sheets allowed the maximum depth to reach 250 meters.
