The 36-inch hand-built model of the German Type 212A Submarine (U-Boot Klasse 212A) embodies the engineering precision and quiet sophistication of the original diesel-electric vessel with air-independent propulsion (AIP). Each piece is conceived as a scale study of form and function, rendered with exacting attention to proportion and detail.
Crafted using the traditional plank-on-frame technique from premium hardwoods — Red Cedar, Teak, and Mahogany — the model reproduces the X-shaped rudder, smooth sail (conning tower), and compact hull of this European design. Construction typically requires 3 to 6 months and includes staged photo updates so you may review hull construction, deck detailing and final painting.
