Review: Go's together great but the rudder and elevator in back to close contact to wall hard to work on and elevator very tight fit also guards at bottom will break if you force parts to make it fit in alignment then your up the creek without a paddle.
Review: The kit is easy to build. As with most RC projects it will almost certainly require some modification to suit your particular setup. It looks great all built up. The most challenging part of the build is getting the proper full throw on the rudder and aft dive planes. You definitely need to carefully think out your control linkages before making modifications. I ended up using gears to link the twin rudders and free up space for the pushrods.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: How big is the kit when put together? how difficult is it to put together? any tips or things required?**
A: About 55 inches long when completed... the submarine kit itself isn’t too hard to assemble.. the Arkmodel water tight container or WTC is a challenge with poor instructions and lots of wiring and challenging to assemble. Once you have done one it is easier but research videos on how. Mine took some time to complete and get operational. But when finished it is impressive and very high quality versus doing a Revell model kit conversion to operating submarine. The Arkmodel quality and construction is worth the price... I bought a second WTC from Arkmodel to convert a Japanese I-58 model kit from Lindberg models 58 inches long to operational. The instructions for the Arkmodel submarine itself are good and it goes right together... the finished model with its 55 1/2 inch size is pretty impressive..

**Q: Is this submarine an RC kit aswell?**
A: Yes it is, the model comes optimized for RC but it doesn't come with the subdriver which is the equipment needed to operate the submarine the model it's very easy to build and is very intuitive it's very sturdy and strong, the Nautilus drydock a online store have all you'll need to make it work I recommend it very highly. My model it's going to be a static model and I will be modifying it into a type vii D mine layer submarine so have fun building yours also the Nautilus drydock have a beautiful photoetch set for this model if you plan to super detailing it,good luck and have fun building it.

**Q: Product description states “wtc need to buy separate” what is needed to complete this model?**

*by M***K on 10 February 2021*

This thing is huge 55" (5ft) long. A little pricey for a plastic model, but its well made, detailed and looks really nice if you're into U-boats. I've dived on 2 off the NC coast so I'm really into them. By the way, the model in the photos for this sub is not assembled correctly...lol.
