Description
the mighty u-boat .man this kit is tiny(1/300 scale) i knew that buying it ,but wow is it small. it is a revell u boat type 7c 1/300 scale skill 3.i wanted some more practice with painting and gluing small parts(that's all this kits got)i know that the colors and paint seam are not historically accurate , i did this as a late night fun project., and it was too small for me to put that kinda time in. all in all a good,fun build. required little modification(other than fixing bent parts that the kit came with). now that i have the taste i would like to do sub again but bigger this time!Related content

Well it's a long process Because I am currently doing it to my 1:350 scale Bismarck But for your U-boat I think it has to be either a 1:325 scale or a 1:75 scale. But I know were to find the 1:75 scale U-boat. By the way what is with all the lols? no offense it's kind of annoying

Oh sorry about that then. (Ahem) Anyway about the RC well it can be possible but for me I know this local place called the Time machine and I can find almost all the parts to make the Bismarck and RC But I very Surpized that even you a Master Builder Didn't know that you can RC a Model Boat or Sub.

well i am by far no master builder(been modeling for about 2 1/2 years) i knew that some kits could be modded or converted to r/c(plan on doing a tank r/c) but didn't realize that a sub that small could be converted. i mean mine isn't even 1/2inch wide.

Oh I thought you were a Pro... Well I'm not sure about a model tank conversion but Like I said about the U-boat it has to be a 1:75 scale to convert or any thing bigger than your 1:350 scale it can be converted. But I'm still new to the concept so I would suggest you try to convert a Battleship or a destroyer But heres the tricky part: It has to be balanced. But what the techs at the Time Machine told me was First weight the hull of the ship (with an electronic scale) find how much it weights then enter the number to a website called "Kastelcreations" .com and you get the number and the engine it recommends then you install them. The only problem with this is the Remote and the Servos that it operates on.
