ICM S019 Scale model kit 1:72 U-Boat Type ‘Molch’ WWII German Midget Submarine

U-Boat Type “Molch” plastic submarine model kit in 1/72 scale by ICM represents a compact coastal submarine developed in Germany during World War II. This unpainted and unassembled plastic model kit depicts the Molch type, one of the small midget submarines designed for operations in confined waters.

The Molch submarine was developed as a single-seat coastal attack craft intended for operations in shallow or restricted sea areas. Compared with larger submarines, these small vessels were designed with simplified construction and limited crew requirements. Although compact in size, the Molch carried externally mounted external stores and reflected the late-war effort to deploy smaller naval craft for specialized missions.

Type “Molch” - World War II Midget Submarine

The Molch featured a narrow cylindrical hull with a small conning structure and external torpedo mounts along the sides. Its compact dimensions and minimal crew arrangement made it one of the smallest submarine types built for naval operations during the later years of the war.

For modelers: Submarine models often benefit from carefully aligning the hull halves before adding smaller external elements. Painting the hull and external stores as separate components can make finishing the final assembly more controlled.
