German Type XXIII in 1:24 Scale

German Type XXIII in 1:24 Scale

LISTING DETAILS :

The description for this and many other boats in this section are going to suffer from a lack of photos and video as I have a LOT of boats to go through one at a time to document for full listings. 


This boat will be sold in fully tested, ready to run condition. If you are confident in my ability to furnish the boat as described, I urge you to purchase immediatley rather than wait. If you need or want to wait for a full series of photos and operational video, that is your perogative, but if another buyer purchases in advance, you will miss out. 

A quick overview of this boat many others can be found in my weekly update video found here at the 18 minute mark. 

 

SHIPPING TIME and COST: 

 

The final checks with photos and video for the new owner will be processed on a first-come and first-served basis. I will communicate an estimated ship date upon purchase of the boat based on workloads and the evaluation queue ahead of you. 

Shipping is NOT included in the price due to the size of the model. Shipping and crating will be billed separately once we know where we are shipping to. 

DESCRIPTION: 

This is a gorgeous representation of the WWII German coastal submarine, the Type XXIII. Due to the design of the boat, and despite it's impressive size, the model has tremendous response to both pitch and yaw inputs, making it a dream to operate.  

 

Note that this is not based off of the common and much smaller Bronco model kit. This is far larger, more impressive and features fiberglass construction with amazing detail.

The hull is the OTW fiberglass offering in 1:24 scale, putting this boat at an impressive 55" in overall length. Despite it's size, it's easy to manage, making it a great pond boat that doesn't require large vehicles to transport or massive muscles to carry, launch and retrieve. 


Internal components are housed in a custom 4" watertight cylinder. Ballast is achieved with a low pressure air pump in conjunction with a backup gas sub-system. Also features automatic pitch control.  Included radio is a Hitec 75mhz unit on CH67. This can be upgraded to a TANDEM FrSky transmitter with 6 channel receiver at a cost of $350 (Labor included). This is something I would highly recommend, however it is not necessary. 

 

Be the envy at the pond with this unique and awe-inspiring model of Germany's famous coastal submarine!
