  • This is an overview of a completed German Type VII model kit in 1/48 scale based off of the Arkmodel kit.
    Original build was completed by Mike Martin. The boat was gutted, with a new 3" SubDriver installed, torpedo tubes and more.
    Thanks to Ed (the new owner) for his patience in this project.
    Thanks for watching!

    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.

      @@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)?

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.

  • @envitech02
    @envitech02 3 роки тому +2

    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!!!
