Hasegawa 49901 - 1/700 Scale German U-Boat 7C/9C Heritage Kit  [HA-49901]

Scale profile for Hasegawa 1/700 German U-Boat 7C/9C

The Hasegawa 1/700 German U-Boat 7C/9C kit recreates the compact form of wartime German submarines with attention to hull shape and deck detail. The Type VII C and IX C designs are represented in a compact scale that suits collectors and modellers who like historically informed builds.

Historical context and modelling focus

U-Boats of these classes were central to WWII convoy operations. This kit highlights characteristic features while remaining small enough for tight displays. It is tailored to modellers who enjoy precise trimming, careful gluing, and realistic finishing.

Practical building advice

Work in good light and use fine tools to handle tiny parts. Dry-fitting pieces before glueing helps ensure alignment. Finished models look best on dedicated stands or within small dioramas that suggest sea conditions.
