Mikro Mir MM35-022 Welman WWII British midget submarine Scale 1:35 Plastic Model Submarine Kit

Welman midget submarine in 1/35 scale is represented in this plastic model kit by Mikro Mir. The model depicts a compact British single-operator submarine developed during World War II for special naval operations. This plastic model kit reproduces the distinctive cylindrical hull and compact layout of this unusual underwater craft and is supplied unpainted and unassembled.

The Welman submarine was designed in the United Kingdom in the early 1940s as part of a series of small underwater vehicles intended for covert missions in coastal areas and harbors. Operated by a single crew member, the vessel featured a very small pressure hull, periscope, and external fittings for specialized tasks.

Welman - British World War II Midget Submarine

The Welman concept represented an attempt to create a highly compact submarine capable of operating close to enemy ports and coastal infrastructure. Although only a limited number were built and the design saw restricted operational use, the type remains an interesting example of experimental naval engineering from the World War II period.

For modelers: In 1/35 scale the small submarine hull provides an opportunity to focus on clean seam alignment along the cylindrical body and careful placement of the sail and periscope elements. Painting the hull and smaller fittings separately before final assembly can help achieve a precise finish.
