The modern German HDW Type 212A U-Boat, arguably the most advanced non-nuclear submarine in the world, is the subject of the Alexander Engel KG company's newest addition to their range of model kits. To 1:70 scale, the model is a compact 800mm in length and displaces just 4.9kg on the surface, yet offers high performance, operational safety and advanced features such as an X-tail with electronic mixing of the control functions. Its static diving ballast system consists of a single 500ml Engel piston tank. This kit's completeness, manageable size and relative affordability, will I think have many people without experience of model submarines looking at it and wondering if it could provide them with their introduction to the world of three-dimensional movement that exists below the surface of their favourite sailing lake. Please refer to the Engel website: www.engel-modellbau.de for current pricing.
