Type XXI submarines were a class of German diesel–electric Elektroboot (German: "electric boat") submarines designed during the Second World War. One hundred and eighteen were completed, with four being combat ready. During the war only two were put into active service and went on patrols, but these were not used in combat.

They were the first submarines designed to operate primarily submerged, rather than spending most of their time as surface ships that could submerge for brief periods as a means to escape detection.

    @iwannabeelected the thing is: i only pointed out things that are easier to fix. sounds harsh but in the end its small but easy to fix stuff. i think his source was not the best.

    @Irobert55 I think you're judging too harshly. The author never said it was the most accurate replica. Though I agree that it could be way better. Deserves an upvote nevertheless.

    @agnanSatrio truth bw told: this is my favorite submarine ever. its not super well known but the ancestor to all modern submarines because it was so way ahaed of its competition. also i mentioned the little bump of the active sonar (the thing thats makes the ping): its there where on your model is the red stripe.

    @PositivePlanes i agree but it still has enough flaws to point out. for instance the hygrophone array for the forward facing passive sonar is missing. the build also lacks the way easier to build mount of the active sonar (a little hump in on the front of the conning tower a bit below the first AA gun). the fins with the screw are way to high (they are only cm away from the total bottom side of the submarine) and it is lacking the tail depth fins.or with other words: a pretty good start but still not the best that is possible with this build quality shown here. also it lacks two torpedo tubes.

    also as a funfact: they never destroyed stuff because they didnt get torpedos.

    sincerely: your irobert55.
