Detailed Representation of the Type IX C at 1/700 Scale

The Hobby Boss HB-87007 U-boat Type IX C model kit offers a concise scale depiction of a prominent WWII submarine, emphasising the vessel's extended range and the improved accommodation compared with earlier types. The kit is aimed at modellers interested in historically informed silhouettes and compact presentations.

The Type IX C dispensed with the earlier external saddle tanks and presented a more streamlined hull form. This 1/700 scale model illustrates the key combat fittings, including the six torpedo tubes and the 105 mm deck gun, allowing an appreciation of the submarine's layout in miniature.

Is this kit appropriate for someone new to scale warship models?

While approachable, the 1/700 scale demands patience with small components; beginners with basic modelling tools can complete it, but expect a learning curve on tiny parts.

Does the model show the absence of saddle tanks used on earlier U-boats?

Yes, the kit reproduces the Type IX C hull without external saddle tanks, giving the streamlined appearance characteristic of that subtype while still representing its armament layout accurately.
