AFV Club continues with their line of WWII German U-boats with the long-hulled Typ VII D U-boot, which was built as a mine layer. The sub had five mine carrying compartments added amidships and based on source could carry from 15 to 35 mines for laying. Later the Germans used this hull design to create the Typ VII F, which carried extra torpedoes for reloading other U-boats.
Like the previous B and C it is petite, but as it is the long hull it measures some 3 cm longer at 22 cm. The molded detail on this submarine is amazingas before it too shares the B sprue with the VII B kitand it offers the ability to open up the completed hull and view the pressure hull and conning tower protrusion once finished.
But this kit only comes with one conning tower and no optional Wintergarten fits for the antiaircraft suite.
