IntermediateThe U-Boat
Type VII is probably the
most well known submarine
ever built. Over 1000
were built and used world
wide and in its time it
set many standards and
became very
successful.Its elegant
and sleek lines make this
an attractive model for
either static display or
a working model.A ballast
tank is used to partially
submerge the model then
the model is dived by
using the dive planes and
forward speed. With this
technique very true to
scale diving manoeuvres
are possible.

Scale model of the type
XXI submarine to 1:40
scale for dynamic
divingThe U-boat U2540
was built at the Blohm
und Voss yard in Hamburg
in 1944, and the vessel
was commissioned in
January 1945. During the
crew training phase in
early May 1945 the boat
was attacked by a British
bomber off Fehmarn, and
was eventually scuttled
by the crew. By this
point in history this was
a typical fate of the
last U-boats commissioned
by the German War
Navy.Many years later the
infant Federal Republic
of Germany had become a
member of NATO, and was
looking for a suitable
vessel on which to base
the submarines of the
Federal Navy; this was
when the fate of the
U2540 was recalled: the
boat which had lain on
the bottom of the sea for
12 years. In 1957 she was
raised, brought to Kiel
and completely re-built.
On 01.09.1960 the
submarine was
re-christened ´Wilhelm
Bauer´, and was
commissioned into the
German Federal Navy. By
Spring 1980 the submarine
had completed a long
period of service as a
training and experimental
vessel, and was finally
retired. Since 1984 the
´Wilhelm Bauer´ has
been an exhibit in the
German Maritime Museum in
Bremerhaven. The unusual
history of U2540
illustrates just how
advanced was the design
of this U-boat
type.Seldom have we
received so many requests
for a particular model
from our dealers and
model builders. The
repeated appeal was for
another submarine to the
same scale as the U47.
The robbe development
team responded, and we
can now offer our latest
model U-boat: The Type
XXI boat U2540Just like
the legendary robbe U47,
this model is capable of
submerged running using
the dynamic method of
diving. The model is
almost 2 metres long,
and consists - like the
U47 - of a foreship and
aftership joined together
by a central screwed
joint. When the two parts
are separated, the
motors and RC equipment
assembly can be withdrawn
from the pressure vessel.
This model also features
pre-cut flooding slots to
save the modeller the
time-consuming task of
drilling and/or machining
the openings. In contrast
to the U47 the forward
hydroplanes are
controlled by a servo,
rather than mechanically
by means of a paddle. As
an option these forward
hydroplanes can be folded
in for surface running,
just as on the full-size
vessel. This is an
imposing model which
always attracts a large
number of fascinated
spectators.RC

1: 40 scale
dynamic-diving model of
the German Federal
Navy’s 212-class
submarineWhen we decided
it was time to produce a
new model submarine, our
development team selected
the new, ultra-modern
212- class of the German
Federal Navy as their
prototype. The full-size
boat:These subs were
developed at the
Howaldtswerke-Deutsche
Werft GmbH (HDW) dockyard
in Kiel. It is the
world’s first submarine
type to be equipped with
a hybrid fuel cell power
system. Basically the
boat is propelled by an
electric motor. For
surface running the motor
is powered by a diesel
generator, but when the
boat is submerged,
electrical current is
supplied by a hydrogen
fuel cell system. U 31
was the first 212 A class
to be built, and the
vessel was launched in
March 2002; this is the
basis for our model.The
model:Our model of the U
31 has been developed and
built using proven
methods of construction
and pre-fabrication,
i.e. the same methods
used on the U 2540.
However, the diameter of
the pressure vessel has
been increased by 35 mm
in order to give the
large hull the stiffness
required. The pressure
vessel is fitted with an
internal multi-part
CNC-machined installation
frame, which houses all
the essential RC and
electrical system
components. Just like the
full-size sub, our model
of the U31 features an
ultra-modern power
system: in this case a
slow-rewing, high-torque
brushless electric motor
provides enormous
thrust.With the kind
approval and support of
the
Howaldtswerke-Deutsche
Werft GmbH (HDW) of
Kiel.Specification:Length:

Scale model of a German
U-boat to 1:40 scale,
with dynamic diving
systemfittings and
electric motors
includedDuring the
development stage of our
model of the U 47 we
concentrated especially
on maximum possible scale
fidelity, and accurate
reproduction of the
detail features of the
vessel. In spite of its
impressive length of more
than 1.7 m, the boat is
highly manoeuvrable and
has a good turn of speed.
It features the dynamic
method of submerging,
and all these features
make for a highly
realistic model when in
and under the water.An
important feature of this
imposing boat is the
flooding slots in the
outer skin, and these
are factory-cut in order
to shorten the building
time. This eliminates the
time-consuming work of
drilling or machining
these
openings.Specification:Length:

THUNDER TIGER
STATIC-DIVING
SUBMARINEExperience the
mysteries of the
deep.......The NEPTUNE
SB-1 is the first
underwater RC model from
Thunder Tiger. Equipped
with high technology
operating equipment in
the inner hull tub,
covered by the bright
yellow outer hull, the
SB-1 will let you enjoy
the otherwise hidden
wonders of the underwater
world. Adopting a static
diving system, operating
the SB-1 is just like the
real thing. The system is
driven by a ballast tank
with pump & motor unit.
Start the pump to induct
the water into the
ballast tank. Control the
amount of water in the
ballast tank, the
submarine can dive from
the surface and stay
underwater in static.
Using the propulsion
power unit and full
elevator and rudder
control, you can drive
the submarine under water
with ease.Equipped with
an auto detect protection
system, if the system
detects low battery
power, low transmisson
signal or leakage, then
the roll pump will auto
start to flood the water
out of the ballast tank
and make the SB-1 float
back to the
surface.Install the
optional digital camera
and you can watch the
amazing underwater scenes
as well.Key Features:ABS

Model submarine with
electric power and
dynamic diving systemThe
Sea-Wolf is the longest
serving model in our
submarine fleet.
Introduced many years
ago, it began a
successful period of
submarine modelling for
us which has lasted right
up to the present day. In
1998 it was followed by
the legendary Type VII
boat, the U-47, and
finally by our largest
model, the Type XXI
boat, the U-2540.The
Sea-Wolf is the ideal
submarine for all
modellers, from the
ambitious beginner
through the modeller
interested in a change of
direction to the expert
and connoisseur. After
all, it offers an
attractive combination of
impressive appearance,
reasonable building time
and a fair system
price.We have now revised
this model in a number of
significant details, to
make it an even more
interesting
proposition.New features

additional information
relating to the dynamic

please refer to our

throttle functions are
required for normal
running and diving,
which means that a
two-channel system is
sufficient. If a third
channel is available,
the hydroplanes can be
controlled to over-ride
the automatic depth
system. This arrangement
permits high-speed
surface running and fast
dives.Specification:Length:
