Free delivery and returns on eligible orders of £20 or more. Review: revell xx1 - I paid £12 for this model and to be honest it is the type of model you would pay 30-40 pounds for. The model is very big, highly detailed and very striking when finished. There is no flash at all. The manual is highly complex over 55 steps. The model is very complicated to make due largely to the fact that you have to paint, transfer the transfers and detail before assembly which is unusual for a build. You build the interiors first before you insert into the hull and then i would recommend doing a dry fit before final assembly. If you are into modelling, this is great build with experience. If you are starting out or have not alot of experience, then i recommend you stay away from this model. This model is undervalued in my opinion and should be more expensive. The subject is the William bauer, excuse my spelling, which was built by the Nazis at the end of world war 2 and was the most advance submarine in the world at the time having a maximum speed of 17 knots under water and could styed submerged for long periods of time unlike it predecessors. It was basically the marine version of the me-162, if it was unleashed in time it could have won the war for the Nazis as it could avoid depth charges easily. The Nazis scuttled it and was raised and restored 12 years later. So an interesting subject matter as well. Very cheap price for a great kit and is an eye stopper. Review: Super model - a good challenge. - I am a 65 year old born again youth, who has got back into modelling since I retired. I bought this model back in February. It arrived quickly and was well packaged and I am thoroughly enjoying making it up. It is a complicated kit and is presenting a challenge to me. The sprues are clear of flashing, and although the instructions are far from perfect, by dry fixing and looking ahead regularly, the kit is coming together. I am working on about 5 models of different types and feel that I am learning quickly. As an aside, I am astounded at the number of reviews I read where people don't realise that they are buying a kit or get annoyed because no paints or glue are included. All I can suggest is READ THE ADVERT. desertcart provides an amazing service at competitive prices - I will return time and time again. ## Features - Model kit contain 163 pieces - Model kits are designed for children aged 10 years and upwards - After built it measures 53.1 cm in length ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00029D0B0 | | Assembly Required | Yes | | Batteries Required? | No | | Batteries included? | No | | Best Sellers Rank | 145,658 in Toys & Games ( See Top 100 in Toys & Games ) 100 in Watercraft Model Building Kits 3,126 in Kids' Play Vehicles | | Colour | Various | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars (903) | | Date First Available | 10 Feb. 2011 | | Educational Objective(s) | Develop fine motor skills, patience, and historical knowledge | | Item model number | 05078 | | Language | English, German | | Manufacturer recommended age | 8 months - 8 years | | Material Type(s) | Plastic | | Number of pieces | 163 | | Release date | 1 Aug. 2018 | | Remote Control Included? | No | | Scale | 1:144 Scale | | tech_spec_battery_description_toys | No battery required | ## Images ![05078 Deutsches U-Boot Typ XXI mit Interieur 1:144 Scale Unbuilt/Unpainted Plastic Model Kit - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51GJ5CLmQlL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Can you build this kit without interior** A: One hull-half is moulded 'open', so it is not really possible to build the model minus its interior. If you are looking for a Uboat that is full-hull, possibly try our Type VII C/41 'Atlantic Version', 05100. **Q: How do I go about getting the right coloured paints for this kit ? Does anyone make an assortment of paints that would be suitable ?** A: Hi yes. Reveal make their own paints Reveal Aquacolour. The colours are stipulated on the model box. Available form all good suppliers. £1.50 - £200 per square pot. A good model, I enjoyed making it.

Arrived in good time and well packed. Looks to be well molded, and a good price. Due to German law there are no Nazi markings but submerged it doesn't need a flag. ## Frequently Bought Together - Revell 05078 U-Boat XXI Type w.
