"The U-boot Type IIA was the first German series produced submarine for the newly established Hitler’s Kriegsmarine. Most of the submarine crews were trained for service aboard this U-boot type, and when the war broke out they participated in the first fights.

When the U-boot Type VII entered service Type IIs were again assigned to training duty. This is the first ever injected kit of this submarine."

The Special Navy line kit contains 5 sprues with grey plastic parts, resin, white metal and photo-etched parts. Decals offer markings for U-1, U-6 and two appearances of U-3 submarine.
