Mikro Mir MM35-002 German mini-submarine "Marder" Scale 1:35 Plastic Model Submarine Kit

The Marder mini submarine was a German small coastal submarine developed during World War II for naval special operations. This plastic model kit by Mikro Mir represents the Marder in 1/35 scale, depicting a compact one-man underwater craft designed for coastal missions.

The Marder was an evolution of the earlier Neger human-guided torpedo system. Unlike its predecessor, the Marder featured a small ballast tank that allowed the craft to submerge briefly beneath the surface. Operated by a single pilot, the vessel carried torpedoes mounted externally beneath the hull and was intended for operations close to enemy shipping and harbor areas during the later years of World War II.

Marder - German One-Man Coastal Submarine

The craft consisted of a streamlined cylindrical hull with a transparent canopy section for the pilot. Although small in size, the Marder represents an interesting example of experimental small submarine development during the wartime period and illustrates the diversity of naval engineering solutions explored during the 1940s.

For modelers: The Marder has a very compact hull with a prominent canopy and external torpedo mount. Careful seam finishing along the hull and precise alignment of the external torpedo components can help maintain the distinctive proportions of this miniature submarine in 1/35 scale.
