Build the iconic German Type IIA U2 submarine in 1:400 scale. This complete set includes everything you need to start right away – a plastic glue-together model, 2 acrylic paints, glue, and a brush. Ideal for beginners and seasoned modelers who want a compact historical project from the pre-1936 era.
The German Type IIA submarines were small, agile units designed for coastal operations. Only 6 boats (U1–U6) were built at the Deutsche Werft shipyard in Kiel, making this kit an attractive choice for collectors of historic vessels. The 1:400 kit offers authentic proportions and details inspired by the early design from 1933–1934.
The box includes a basic painting set to complete the model, featuring two acrylic paints, glue, and a brush. A noteworthy option is to depict the distinctive white conning tower that some units carried when flying the imperial flag before 1936 – a great detail for an accurate presentation.
