Mikro Mir MM35-008 German midget submarine "Molch" Scale 1:35 Plastic Model Submarine Kit

The Molch midget submarine was a small German coastal submarine developed during World War II for short-range naval operations. This plastic model kit by Mikro Mir represents the Molch in 1/35 scale, depicting a compact single-operator submarine designed for operations near coastal waters.

The Molch was introduced in 1944 as a simple and quickly produced underwater craft. It used an electric propulsion system and carried torpedoes externally beneath the hull. Although limited in operational range and endurance, the Molch illustrates the late-war development of small submarines intended for coastal deployment.

Molch - German Midget Submarine

The Molch featured a cylindrical hull with a transparent canopy for the operator and externally mounted torpedoes. The design prioritized ease of production and straightforward mechanical systems. These submarines were deployed in coastal areas and represent an example of specialized naval engineering solutions developed during World War II.

For modelers: The Molch has a very compact hull with visible external torpedo mounts and a small cockpit canopy. Careful alignment of the torpedo supports and smooth finishing along the hull seams will help preserve the streamlined shape of this submarine in 1/35 scale.
