Hatches, clamps, anchor and bollards are also prefabricated. This hatch is closed by a 3 mm thick aluminium plate sealed with a rubber gasket. An opening measuring 560 x 75 mm allows access to the interior components. The WTC is reinforced by steel inlays and houses all technical components such as dive system, main drive, batteries and R/C. The middle deck forms a Water Tight Compartment (WTC) within the lower hull. Additionally, window frames and “crocodile eyes” on the wheel house are also resin cast parts. Rakers, fins, dive planes and skiff are all cast in resin. Tail fin and lower hull section are laminated in a single part, thereby ensuring exact alignment and correct fixture of the rudder. The hull unit consists of upper and lower hull sections, middle deck and bulk head, all made of glass fibre reinforced plastic (GRP). Three detailed plans and comprehensive instructions allow the experienced modeller an efficient assembly of the kit. Like all Engel submarines this kit comes with glass fiber hull, complete set of fittings, hardware pack and dive system. More than 3,000 rivets on its upper hull and wheel house as well as the saw shaped fins and raker arch, give this model its very impressive looks.
