A Close Look at the 1/700 Type VIIB Submarine

Hobby Boss HB-87008 presents the Type VIIB U-boat as a scale model, emphasising the boat that played a major role in Atlantic operations. The kit conveys the submarine's characteristic silhouette and fittings in 1/700 scale, making it well suited for display and period dioramas.

The Type VIIB advanced beyond earlier types by mounting five torpedo tubes and carrying a significant torpedo load or mines. Surface armament such as an 88mm gun offered additional capability. This kit reproduces those features at scale, providing a detailed build that rewards careful assembly and finishing.

What is the official scale of this Hobby Boss kit?

This model is issued in 1/700 scale, which keeps the finished submarine compact while retaining fine external detail for painting and weathering.

Does the kit include the deck gun and torpedo tube details?

Yes. The kit contains parts that represent the deck gun, conning tower fittings and the torpedo tube openings, allowing model makers to assemble an authentic-looking Type VIIB profile.
