Product Description
-This is a guide to the fully new mold kit 1/35 Welman W10 special submersible from Micromill.
-W10 is a one-seater special submersible designed by the British Special Operations Executive during World War II to set explosives on the bottom of the ship by approaching the enemy ship from below.
-It was possible to equip enemy ships with magnetic timed lightning bolts equipped on the bow.
-Crew entered the ship and operated from the window of the control tower.
-Produced and trained since 1942, four ships participated in the Norwegian floating dock attack in 1943.
-One ship (W46) was caught in the anti-submarine net, discovered by the German army, the crew was taken prisoner, and W46 was captured.
-Crew abandoned ships and fled because the remaining three were found to be attacked.
-As a drawback, it was said that it was powerless for the anti-submarine net to be able to confirm the situation unless it emerged due to the lack of a periscope.
-However, the experience of Wellman led to the development of small submarine boats, such as the X boat.
-This injection plastic kit comes with etching parts, decals and display stand.
-When completed, the total length will be about 179 mm.
