History.
German submarine U-47 was a Type VIIB U-boat of the Kriegsmarine, built in Kiel and commissioned in 1938 under the command of Kapitänleutnant Günther Prien. It became one of the most famous U-boats of the Second World War after its daring penetration of the British naval base at Scapa Flow in October 1939, where it sank the battleship HMS Royal Oak. This action was a major propaganda victory for Germany and a serious psychological blow to Britain. U-47 completed ten war patrols, sinking over thirty Allied ships. In March 1941, U-47 disappeared in the North Atlantic, probably destroyed by British forces, with all hands lost.

★★★★★ Simon C.
Firstly I would like to say Cobi have captured the shape and character really well. It is a nice size and well detailed for its scale. The thread supplied is not enough, so advise using your own thread. This was a easy and enjoyable build. Highly recommend. Brick Tanks service brilliant as ever....

For a model of this size, I’m quite delighted of how much accuracy they managed to pack into this set. Tying the strings to be taught was a bit of a pain but ended up looking really well alongside both my Bismarck and Tirpitz.
