1442 GERMAN NAVY U-BOAT IXB 1:150 Scale

The Academy 1/150 Diving U-Boat w/motor is a plastic model kit in the Academy Ships Plastic Model range. 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.
