Airfix - German E-Boat - 1:72
Product Code: A10280V
Restricted by the terms of the Treaty of Versailles,
the German Kriegsmarine exploited a loophole by designing a fleet of
fast, wooden-hulled attack craft they referred to as Schnellboots.
Expertly designed, these vessels were perfected over time and by the
outbreak of the Second World War, they had become a devastatingly
effective part of Germany’s naval strength. Powered by three diesel
engines and featuring a triple rudder arrangement, Germany’s E Boats
were some of the fastest warships in the world. With their low profile,
high manoeuvrability and torpedo armament, if they penetrated any Allied
convoy, they could destroy several vessels and make their escape before
coming under return fire.
