Product Description

Experience the legendary German U-Boat Type XXI U-2540 in an impressive 1/35 scale model kit, reaching a massive 220 cm when fully assembled. This masterpiece of naval history comes with photo-etched details, the G7e torpedo, and an acoustic minesweeper for maximum authenticity.

The hull is produced in multiple FDM 3D-printed sections that are securely screwed together, ensuring structural strength and easier handling during assembly. For a professional finish, the manufacturer recommends 4–5 layers of Bodyfill 360, followed by sanding to remove print lines and achieve a smooth surface.
