Nautilus TMAXNautilus TMAX Ref: 2158
The Nautilus is one of the most fascinating submarines ... with this model fictions becomes reality.
The hull consists of 23 parts all made of glass fibre, including the lower hull with fin (one piece), upper hull, conning tower, "crocodile eyes", rowing boat, side domes for the panoramic windows, side fins and dive
planes.
The pressure proof compartment is also made of glass fibre and is reinforced with steel inlays.
The "saws" at the front and on the back of the model are made of resin. The model's upper hull is highly
detailed and covered with over 3,000 bolt heads all "made in Germany".

KG Type VIIcStatic Diving WWII U-Boat model kitKG Type VIIcStatic Diving WWII U-Boat model kit Ref: 2154
The Type VII is probably the best known and legendary U-Boat of all times.

This new kit series is equipped with brushless motors and aluminum bulk head on the main drive!

The hull unit is of the same high quality as the rest of the Engel KG model series made from hand laminated fiberglass and is very rigid. All other fittings and accessories such as the conning tower, diving planes, and rudders are made from resin and are highly detailed. The net cutter, reeling, and many other brass parts are pre-assembled and already soldered.

The model is outfitted with a radial division to allow the inner section (so-called technical frame or Tech-Rack) to be inserted. It is made of CNC cut PVC, which allows for easy and fast assembly. This entire frame is reinforced with alloy rods for additional support.

The WTC is a tube fabricated from 3mm (approx.1/8") PVC material and transparent.

The diving system consists of two piston tanks type XP750-12V (with 750ml volume each) and the electronic switch unit Tmax v2.0.
The Tmax Diving System offers a maximum of features such as proportional as well as individual control of each tank, three fail safe devices (max. depth via pressure switch, loss of signal and battery monitor) and LED status indication.
Tmax2 is ready for Static Depth Control TAES (item no. 1585-TAES-V).

The entire model's power system is based on 12 Volt.

All screws, bolts, nuts and struts are made of stainless steel, brass or alloy and are therefore rust proof.

The model is offered as a complete kit just like all other Engel submarines. To get it ready to sail, all what is needed are eight channel R/C system, servos, speed controllers, and, of course, rechargeable batteries.

Engle Submarine Type 212AEngle Submarine Type 212A Ref: 2160
Submarine type 212A Static Diving Model Submarine with Piston Tank Type 212 of the German Bundesmarine (Navy) is today’s most modern submarine. This is its counterpart in 1/70 scale. Building time: one weekend. Result: a handy sized model submarine equipped with a Piston Tank performs and dives just as in full size.
This new model submarine developed by ENGEL offers besides radial parting with bayonet lock ring and Tech Rack© very compact dimensions and easy handling.
Hull, sail and all other attaching parts are highly detailed. The Tech Rack© slides into the front part of the hull offering easy access to most of the boat’s internal components. Building is straight forward and quite simple as all parts are prefabricated is highly detailed and sturdy.
Hull, bayonet lock rings, control planes and hull attachments are cast in resin and little to no adjustment. The Tech Rack© is constructed of sturdy CNC-machined, interlocking parts, reinforced with ready-made brass bars. Piston Tank included features AutoStop, meaning that the piston drive will automatically stop at an instant as soon as the tank is completely filled or emptied.
Piston Tank and electronic switch unit CTS are both fully built forming a compact unit without extensive and frail wiring. As all ENGEL sub models the 212 also comes with a full safety package including
loss of transmitter signal
ow battery monitor
water leakage contact
pressure switch
Propelled by an electric motor 540 size and a 6-blade prop the submerged model can reach top speeds of about 10 km/h (6 mph);
however, for realistic operation top speed should be limited to about 2/3 (by accordings setup of speed control)

U177 Type IX D2 Long-Distance U-Boat of the former German Kriegsmarine Scale 1/45
The submarines of the IX D2 class were the largest fighter U-Boats of the German Kriegsmarine (Navy) during WW II. They were designed for long distance operations, travelling up to 31,000 nautical miles at an average speed of 10 knots. Due to their size and equipment they were able to remain in constant operation for many months without harbouring. The IX D2 class was mainly employed in the Pacific and East Asian region.

Seawolf V2Seawolf V2 Ref: 3388
Model submarine with electric power and dynamic diving system
The Sea-Wolf is the longest serving model in our submarine fleet. Introduced many years ago, it began a successful period of submarine modelling for us which has lasted right up to the present day. In 1998 it was followed by the legendary Type VII boat, the U-47, and finally by our largest model, the Type XXI boat, the U-2540.
The Sea-Wolf is the ideal submarine for all modellers, from the ambitious beginner through the modeller interested in a change of direction to the expert and connoisseur. After all, it offers an attractive combination of impressive appearance, reasonable building time and a fair system price. We have now revised this model in a number of significant details, to make it an even more interesting proposition.

New features of the Robbe Seal Wolf V2:
Central pressure vessel screw connection, externally accessible (no hull section removal required)
# Kit includes electric motor, suppressors and cables
# Kit includes Lead ballast
# Revised decal sheet with more comprehensive details
For additional information relating to the dynamic diving method, other models in the Robbe submarine fleet etc., please refer to our current main catalogue.
Only rudder and throttle functions are required for normal running and diving, which means that a two-channel system is sufficient. If a third channel is available, the hydroplanes can be controlled to over-ride the automatic depth system. This arrangement permits high-speed surface running and fast dives.

U31 212 Class Submarine Pt No 1215U31 212 Class Submarine Pt No 1215 Ref: 3400
1 : 40 scale dynamic-diving model of the German Federal Navy’s 212-class submarine
The full-size boat:
These subs were developed at the Howaldtswerke-Deutsche Werft GmbH (HDW) dockyard in Kiel. It is the world’s first submarine type to be equipped with a hybrid fuel cell power system. Basically the boat is propelled by an electric motor. For surface running the motor is powered by a diesel generator, but when the boat is submerged, electrical current is supplied by a hydrogen fuel cell system. U 31 was the first 212 A class to be built, and the vessel was launched in March 2002; this is the basis for our model.


The model of the U 31 has been developed and built using proven methods of construction and pre-fabrication, i.e. the same methods used on the U 2540. However, the diameter of the pressure vessel has been increased by 35 mm in order to give the large hull the stiffness required.
The pressure vessel is fitted with an internal multi-part CNC-machined installation frame, which houses all the essential RC and electrical system components. Just like the full-size sub, model of the U31 features a New ultra-modern power system: in this case a slow-reving, high-torque brushless electric motor to provide large amounts of very usable thrust .
