UK X-Craft midget submarine ww2 for rc - use 3D print model

3D model descriptionThe X-Craft submarine was a small 4-man submarine, developed during the Second World War. This type was used in a successful action to sink the Tirpitz.

Towards the end of the war, 2 of this type were used as a beacon for the approaching invasion fleet for the Normandy landings.

The submarine was equipped with 2 bombs that could be released and detonated with a timer.

The model is designed as an RC model but can of course also be used as a static model.

The model is suitable for a 60mm WTC which is available as a separate download.

This model has been developed for RC use. For this reason, some parts have been adjusted and may differ slightly from the large example.

Building a working RC submarine model requires some experience in building working models. Some self-solving ability is necessary.

For rc models:

Threat the hull after printing with Dichtol to make it stiffer and watertight.
