70 Jahre Bundeswehr:Wilhelm Bauer, Type 206A, Class2, 1/144 - Revell 05186

The reference Revell 05186 is a set of plastic model kits to be assembled at 1/144, released for the 70th anniversary of the Bundeswehr. It brings together three submarines: Wilhelm Bauer, Type 206A and Class 2. This selection makes it possible to depict several generations of submarines associated with the German Navy.

The kit includes three unassembled plastic models, for a total announced count of 154 parts. Decals as well as illustrated, multilingual assembly instructions are included to help you complete the three models.

The Wilhelm Bauer, a former U-2540 of the Type XXI class, was put back into service after the war and then used as a test vessel. Alongside a Type 206A submarine and a Class 2 submarine, it forms the starting point for a set dedicated to the evolution of German submarines.

At the 1/144 scale, every dimension of the real subject is reduced 144 times. This scale is well suited for displaying multiple models on the same base, creating a naval collection, or integrating into a maritime diorama.

Revell classifies this reference at level 4 and recommends it from 12 years onward. Assembly requires care and precision when preparing the parts, applying glue, and placing the decals. An appropriate primer makes painting easier, while a restrained finish helps highlight the distinctive lines of these submarines.
