1/16 German MOLCH Submarine

Post by WCP RC MODELS »

Happy New Year
With the new year, i bring you some new cool things i been working on. There might be a few subs as we wanted to do something a bit different

This might be a long project, we have never designed or built a sub before!
Initially it will be a surface running vessel, and should look cool on the back of a purpose made trailer.

However we are going to get a diving mechanism sorted for this thing, maybe utilising a piston style ballast system. Details TBC.

I have gone for this size of sub as at 1/16 it is roughly 645mm length which is doable, whereas a full size sub is just ludicrously big in 1/16. Plus they would have never been transported on a truck (prove me wrong :D )

I mean, if you want to combine your two loves, there's always the Seeteuffel;)

This is a great looking project so far!

Stingray or the flying sub from voyage to the bottom of the sea would be exciting :D

Just don't visit the Titanic in it ;)

Yeah! The Seaview! My brother built the Aurora kit of it--all 7 pieces.
Will the Tx for these be a wireless playstation controller or are they too unreliable for this type of application? :think:

The Seaview was the main sub, I don't believe they named the flying sub, which I also had the Auroras kit of, I believe it was around 1/60th scale or close to that size.

Do you mean these? Re-release by Moebius, box doesn't state scale but says the Seaview is 39" long.

Ooh... Yes. But, the Seeteufel has tracks! Best of both appallingly shortsighted worlds!

I built that Seaview model back in the day. Nice blast from the past!
