This Hobby Boss 87006 kit presents a finely detailed representation of the famous World War II Type IX submarine, noted for its extended range and robust hull design. The Type IX was engineered for long-distance patrols, and this model reflects the streamlined profile that distinguished later versions.
The Type IX class served long-range missions and offered more internal space than earlier boats, helping sustain lengthy patrols. Equipped with six torpedo tubes and capacity for up to 23 torpedoes, plus a deck gun and variable anti-aircraft weapons, it was a versatile surface and sub-surface threat. The 1:700 scale Hobby Boss 87006 model aims to mirror these defining features for historically minded builders.
This kit appeals to collectors and model builders who value compact, museum-style displays and accurate detail. Its size makes it simple to pair with other 1:700 naval models, and the accurate proportions reward careful construction and painting.
