Description
Type XVIIB Walter Boat submarine in 1/350 scale is represented in this plastic model kit by Mikro Mir. The model depicts a German experimental high-speed submarine design developed during World War II. This plastic model kit reproduces the streamlined hull associated with the Walter propulsion program and is supplied unpainted and unassembled.
The Type XVIIB submarines were part of the Walter boat experimental program, which explored the use of hydrogen peroxide based propulsion systems to achieve significantly higher underwater speeds than conventional diesel-electric submarines. These experimental vessels were developed in Germany during the later stages of World War II as part of advanced submarine engineering research.
Type XVIIB Walter Boat - Experimental High Speed Submarine
The Walter propulsion concept focused on improving submerged performance by using a closed-cycle turbine system powered by hydrogen peroxide. Submarines of the Type XVIIB design featured a hydrodynamic hull form intended to maximize underwater efficiency and speed. Although the project remained experimental, it influenced later submarine design concepts in the post-war period.
For modelers: In 1/350 scale submarine models, the overall hull shape and sail profile define the visual character of the vessel. Careful alignment of the hull halves and the conning tower helps maintain the smooth streamlined form typical of experimental high-speed submarine designs.
