Model submarines

Model submarines exert a special fascination, just like their great prototypes. The technology used with its special features and special demands on accuracy make models of submarines a challenge for anyone who dares to replicate them. In this book, Günter Hensel describes the basics of submarine modelling and the special features that need to be taken into account. Different diving techniques are described as well as the special requirements for the construction and remote-control technology used. The presentation of different submarine models and their technology ranges from ready-made models to kits and the first plan constructions. This book gives you the basics for getting started in one of the most fascinating branches of model shipbuilding.
