Building Instructions
Congratulations on your purchase of this construction set. The submarine type VII was probably one of
the most built submarines in the world. In its time it set the standard and became very successful. We
hope that you will have a lot of fun building this model - either as a display version or a fully functional
diving model.
With this construction set you can either build a pure display model without any additional kit or a fully
functional diving model using the dive and drive set (Order no. 10311) which includes a flood tank and
pump. The diving rudders fore and aft were enlarged somewhat for the functional version in
comparison with the scale. Also, some covers on the hull of the diving model were designed to be
removable, which, on the standard version, do not, of course, have to be cut open. These instructions
apply to both models - any differences are clearly described.
You also need the following material to build the standard model:
- ABS special adhesive, order no. 80478
- Fast adhesive “Ruck-Zuck”, order no. 80492
- UHU “plus endfest” 300 adhesive, order no. 45640
- UHU “plus Acrylit”, order no. 48315
- UHU “allplast”, order no. 48410
- Spray lacquer, colours light grey and dark grey
- Small pots of paint (Humbrol or similar), black
- Lead ballast strips, 60 g, order no. 60107 (2 off)
We recommend the following tools for the construction:
- Sharp and strong model building knife, order no. 416002
- Replacement blades for the knife, order no. 420019
- Drill bits, sizes 1 mm, 1.5 mm, 2 mm, 3 mm, 4 mm, 5 mm and possibly 7 mm
- Metal ruler
- Sanding block and sanding paper, various grades
- Round and flat files
