Smooth Fine Detail Plastic
Product Description
The Type 210 Ula (Type P 6071) class diesel sumbmarine is considered one of the quietest and most manueverable submarines in the world. So quiet and manueverable that NATO has been wargaming with Norway's Ulas in order to better hone their skills of hunting small, littoral, diesel/electric submarines. Developed by the German Nordseewerke firm, with hull sections built in Norway (and sonar suites built by Germany and France) , the Ula class is only operated by the Royal Norwegian Navy. First launched in 1989, 6 are currently in service.
Displacing 1150 tons submerged, the Ula is 59 m long and has a draft of 4.6 m. 8 x 533 mm torpedo tubes are in the bow, and they can launch 14 German made Atlas Elektronik DM2A3 torpedos. She has a complement of 21 sailors. Here is a very good assessment, from 2001, that goes into more details and technical specs.
I've updated the model as of January 2022. I did this for a couple of reasons; new information came to light regarding a towed array pod as well as the first image of the screw. So I updated the CAD to relect this. I also took the time to strengthen the hulls and to put a cage around the periscops, this in order to insure they were protected during post-process handling. Subsequently the price also rose, though note I'm still only making $7.50 on this. The long term solution to this is that I've purchased an Anycubic Mono X with the intention of self-producing these larger "kits", the benefit being lower kit costs (and higher profit for me!). Note that having updated the CAD the model has been reset to "First to Try."
This is a full assembly kit model.
Here are my general instructions for working with Fine Detail Plastic.
