I have seen this video twice now. Very detailed and fast too. Getting a lot of ideas and knowledge. Thanks to Bob Martin. He explained details on how things works. I’ve never seen how torpedo is rigged and I have seen it here too. This boat is very detailed and turns well it seems too.
My grandmother's brother Erich Weudermann was commander of the U-506, I've always been fascinated with subs but chose aviation during my Navy days 😆. I'm an RC sailboat guy and I appreciate the work you guys do! Cheers, E
@@freddymarcel-marcum6831 The Internet says the B-24 located U-506 on the 10cm radar and engaged with 7 depth charges, and the boat broke in two and afterwards the Liberator crew saw ~15 men in the water, to which they dropped a raft and signal flare. Apparently 6 were rescued by a British destroyer 3 days later. Is this correct?
By far the most niche thing I’ve ever seen on YT! I understand the passion, I’ve been obsessed with model aeronautics since before I can remember but I never get into a situation where my models gets out of sight for even a millisecond, for you sub guys the highlight is submerging and I guess just using your imagination until it re-emerges?
As a once crew member of the USS Archerfish (AGSS 311), a WWII fleet boat that won a Presidential Unit Citation for sinking the Shimano Japanese carrier, I can really appreciate this model and, especially, the simulated rust you encrusted your U-boat model with. I was a trained Electronic Technician, assigned to helm and shears watch and deck gang. The electronics was original equipment and should have been in a museum so I was not a good match for the equipment. Have you researched long, floating wire antennas for the radio control (I can guess you don't wan to dive you models too deep for fear of losing them)?
Oh dear god. That is superb. Always fancied doing a r/c model of U57 Gunter Priens sub that got into Scarpa Flow. Seeing this as the standard, I will just keep my ambition as fantasy! Brilliant job.
Hey great built absolut fantastic. Is it possible to give me some information ore maybe a Link how you built the Torpedos and the complete lounch system?
For equiping the submarine type VII, I bought the kit W7602GPV WTC, I miss the battery DZ1 with accessories, do you know where I can buy them because arkmodel don't answer me. Thanks
Pardon me for my ignorance, but limited understanding is that radio waves cannot travel through water, unless if it's VLD/ULF So how do you control the sub? By the way, the model looks great and very realistic!!!
I'd love to help, but I'm booked solid until the end of the year and I'm not taking on new commissions. If you're curious, a standard build would start at $4k turnkey.
Ya' gotta' respect the time and persistence of someone who built this. Also, the research and build skills demonstrate excellent craftsmanship. I've always been in to flying scale models but this is really something! Well done and nice review. PS: Why aren't you wearing a Submariner? :)
NICE! I have an Vintage 80s Atkins R/C German Sub I never finished. I forget what type it is, I think it might be an IXC?? Just dug it out of storage and going to work on it after seeing this vid. Of course things have changed It's made of fiberglass, wood with cast metal accessories. Pretty heavy model close to 6' long.
A question. I seem to recall that some of the subs used during WWII trailed a long radio antenna/wire for communcations. Is it not possible to do the same for a 'wireless' real time camera? Absolutely great model!
It's just anti-fouling paint , all ships have it. It comes in different colours . Some subs had it in black or gray . It's there to stop weed and barnacle growth , which slows the ship down.
Your linkages connection in the back are magnetized!!! cool. I was hoping you would put it in your pool. i wannuh see the props & rudders. Were you in the US Navy?
Amazing model. If I may recommend you use a pair of forceps for connecting those narrow bits. much easier and safer (might break something in the process)
5 minutes work is too much to prep the boat? ;) The video makes it look like a long process, but it only takes a few minutes to go from disassembly to fully ready to go.

did he survive the sinking in 1943?
@@klemens.7561 no, nobody did, the boat itself is off of the Bay of Biscay.

Beautiful model,theType VII was my favorite boat, congratulations on a wonderful job !
I’m glad I found you. Looking forward to watching more videos.
The paint job to replicate Sea water rust on her hull is awesome.

U47
Looks great as a model, but to see it in motion is awesome.
true!
fantastic work !!! greetings from germany
Wow, it's a masterpiece! It takes tonns of work to make one!
Thanks for sharing ! That is one cool model... I wish I had one !
Considering the location, I'd be worried your Type 7 would get et by an alligator. Nice job.
He needs genuine explosive torpedoes for the 'gators' :-)
That was my IMMEDIATE thought when I saw the palm trees !!
Awesome model and very interesting.
Craftsmanship beyond belief!!!
Hey great built absolut fantastic. Is it possible to give me some information ore maybe a Link how you built the Torpedos and the complete lounch system?
Ditto this request. Beautiful craftsmanship and creativity.
Very cool. Interesting and informative. Thanks
How does your sub receive radio signal underwater? What is your depth limit?
Would it not be more efficient to use low frequency radio when operating underwater for distance?
You mean ULF? Better distance. Waaaaaay lower data transfer rates. Not suitable for RC control.
Boat looks awesome!
Un submarino espectacular e impresionante.
Neat as heck! Great video
Awesome model...wanna see the cam video !
Bob Martin! What are those little quick connect things called for the snorkel! I have air lines that would really benefit from that!
Nice
Robart quick connect air fittings.
Could be Festo Pneumatics quick connections
Great video can't wait for the underwater video
Beautiful boat!
what a beautiful project!!!
Fantastic model

At the end you show us the underwater camera that you added but you didn’t show any video from it. What’s up with that?
I really like this I’m glad I found your channel I used to have a dumas akula class dynamic submarine I wish I still had it
Wonderful stuff thks a million dude
Pardon me for my ignorance, but limited understanding is that radio waves cannot travel through water, unless if it's VLD/ULF So how do you control the sub? By the way, the model looks great and very realistic!!!
Low frequency radio waves do penetrate water to a fairly useful degree. We operate on 75mhz here in North America.
Does it dive and you should also get like an Allied Liberty ship model for it to attack
Amazing video and amazing model .. how can I get a quote ?
I'd love to help, but I'm booked solid until the end of the year and I'm not taking on new commissions. If you're curious, a standard build would start at $4k turnkey.
Can you make the water at 1/48 scale next?
do anybody put a cam and or light on it like a drone? it would be neat to see whats around under water
Nice job Bob!!!
Really cool model👍🏾

Pretty fuckn cool. Wish I had the patience
Where's the footage of the onboard camera
sooooo great Job👍👍👍
How many meters can you dive in the sea?
ça, c'est du maquettisme !
that is model making !
Il ne maque que la caméra sous-marine.
All that's missing is the underwater camera.
Wow, you can go on alligator search and destroy missions with that sub!
Well done!
Man thats a nice m9del and an awe full photoset
My father has a Radio control Sub similar to what I see in your video. Is there a market for them?

No footage of the subcam? :(
There was no camera on this build
Awesome detail
Great music theme... a Klaus Doldinger tribute...
Superb!
EXCELLENT, BOB MARTIN, EXCELLENT!
The boat on the top shelf, is that a Skipjack class? Do you know if there is a model of the USS Argonaut, SS 425?
Its a German type VII uboat from ww2
@@JaredRO Never mind!
This is awesome!
Excellent video!
How much would this cost both to make and or buy?
Components alone? $1500 ish. Fully RTR? You're looking at starting at $4k for a basic build and it goes up, up, up from there.
@@RCSubGuy sheesh, thanks a lot !
Does depth affect transmitter range?
Yes, of course. The deeper you go, the more signal is lost, just as though you were getting further and further away in air.
They didn't have red hulls though, other than perhaps on training boats.
It's just anti-fouling paint , all ships have it. It comes in different colours . Some subs had it in black or gray . It's there to stop weed and barnacle growth , which slows the ship down.
@@welshpete12 I know what it is. It's the wrong colour is all.
@@welshpete12 Beautiful paint job none-the-less.
Your linkages connection in the back are magnetized!!! cool. I was hoping you would put it in your pool. i wannuh see the props & rudders.
Were you in the US Navy?
Sir ! Are you prepare to cross Pacific Ocean or Atlantic Ocean ? Need a satellite direction system ?

Nice Job Man...It`s quite something......I`m inspired
Stunning! HOOAH!
this is awesome!
Enjoyed this thx
Hello! How much is the price?
I thought you were going to tell us the camera lens was mounted in the muzzle of the deck gun...
Lol, so did i, i was thinking it was going to be connected through a fish eye lens some how
Why don’t you use a 2.4 ghz radio?
Higher frequencies can't go through water
Didn't know you could transmit underwater. But don't know anything bout rc subs. Would have liked to have seen some pictures from the camera.
Love that model!
Nice job.
The Cartel would probably buy this from you.
GREAT GREAT GREAT GREAT GREAT GREAT....AGAIN RC SUB GUY..I'M ROCKMAN...YOU DEFINITELY ROCKMAN😎.
when are you going to do the i400
sadly, if i had this model at age 12, i would have depth charged it
Grab the air rifle brother.. we have subs to sink. - Kids
Die liegen in die Klamotten und feiern Unser Versenkung.... Not yet Kamaraden. Not yet. Greetings from Amsterdam 🇳🇱
Aw; no video with the onboard camera? It's too bad you couldn't mount one inside the conning tower.
Fire the torpedoes ???
estaria bueno que la camara tomara parte de la vela del submarino
What a great way to hunt salmon.
Great U-boat model. Nice detail, but for me too many parts to assemble for each run
5 minutes work is too much to prep the boat? ;) The video makes it look like a long process, but it only takes a few minutes to go from disassembly to fully ready to go.
Awesome sub.
It would have been awesome if you had a small camera on that so we can see it go under the water I think they have one that will do that
you gott a new subscriber and keep making subs like that i mean like that sumbarine its a cool one
No gator attacks? Cool, never saw a RC sub, very cool.
Amazing Model!!
Cool stuff!🤓👍
You should have played "Wolfpack" by Sabaton. Or at least some of the music from "Das Boot." lol. Great model, thanx for the look see.
Could smuggle a cpl Keys in it
What a beauty
You live in Florida?
