1:35 HobbyBoss 80170 German Molch Midget Submarine Plastic Model kit
Article number
HBS80170
Description
The Molch was based on torpedo technology, and carried two G7e torpedoes attached externally on either side of the craft.
It was fully electrical and was created for coastal operations, with a range of 64 km (35 nmi) at 5 knots (9.3 km/h; 5.8 mph). The front section of the boat held a large battery. Behind the battery was the operator's position, which sat between two small trimming tanks. Behind the operator sat the electric motor. The complicated system of tanks made it difficult to control during combat operations. The first of 393 boats were delivered on June 12, 1944 and were built by AG Weser in Bremen.
