       This is a 1/150 Scale Diving German Navy U-Boat IXB Plastic Model
                        Kit From Academy Hobby Models.

    Larger than the numerically superior Type VII subs, the XIA and XIB Types
had greater range, were faster and carried a larger crew. They were also
slower in diving and were regarded as a "wetter" boat, thus gaining the
nickname "Seekuh" which translates to Sea Cow. Nevertheless, the Type XIB
subs accounted for the sinking of a greater tonnage per boat than any other
type of German sub in World War II.

FEATURES: 1/150 scale plastic kit can be built as a static display model or
            a motorized, diving submarine.
          Maroon, black and light blue plastic pieces are attached to sprue
            trees.
          Finely detailed molding of hull and deck.
          Detailed conning tower.
          Realistic cannons for the deck.
          Includes lead weights for the hull.
          An RE-280 motor with wiring is included.
          Transfer-type decals are included to decorate the submarine.
