Revell 65155 German Submarine Type II B (1943) Model Set (1/144)

The Revell 65155 German Submarine Type II B (1943) 1/144 scale plastic model kit is an excellent choice for enthusiasts of World War II history and fans of naval modeling. This German Type II B submarine is a faithful reproduction of one of the Kriegsmarine’s most important vessels, which played a significant role in military operations on European waters from 1939 to 1945.

Type II B submarines were a development of the original Class II U-Boats, featuring improved range and combat capabilities. The Germans primarily used them as training vessels as well as in operations in the Baltic Sea, North Sea, and in limited actions on the Black Sea. For example, the U-18 and U-24 boats from this series took part in numerous minelaying missions and attacks on Allied convoys, achieving considerable success, especially in the early stages of the war. These vessels were used by the Kriegsmarine from 1935 to 1945 and became a symbol of “wolfpack” tactics.

The model is made of high-quality plastic, ensuring precise details and easy assembly. The kit includes not only the model parts but also three basic paints, a brush, and glue—making it a perfect starter set or a gift. You have the opportunity to recreate many details, such as the characteristic conning tower, armament, and hull line, accurately replicated according to the original. The set does not include resin or metal accessories; however, the comprehensive starter accessories make it a great base for further personalization.
