Uboat VII 1/48th Trumpeter - Generation 3 - Light & Sound electronic set

This configuration has been designed for the incredible Trumpeter 1/48th Uboat VII, which is the most detailed submarine ever produced.

More details can be found in the plastic kit than on the real scale one (lol).

Virtual 360° visit of U995, the last Uboat VII preserved at Laboe, Germany

That amazing level of internal + external detail level and the crew desserve more life on board.

Transform your kit into a Museum quality and very accurate living model, to a level NEVER SEEN BEFORE.

The electronic set is entirely 'Plug & Play' and drives 40+ NanoLeds and accurate soundtrack, in order to reproduce cycles of life on board :

1) Leaving Keroman, or Navigation in friendly waters :

Navigation lights on, all white day lights are on, military music soundtrack

2) Start of Diesels, or Leaving the harbour and heading for the Atlantic

Sound of the real Engines starting, Navigation lights on and day lights flickering during ignition

3) Night cruise, still under air & surface protection

Navigation lights on and night red lights on, Variety music soundtrack

4) ALARM ... Every one rushs in the front compartment

Navigation lights off and Quiet mode blue lights on flashing, soundtrack : crew rushing and sub diving

5) Quiet mode : deep dive

Navigation lights off, and Quiet blue lights on, soundtrack : ping ping ping

6) Hunted ...

Navigation lights off, and Quiet blue lights on, soundtrack : Kaboooooomm

The entire cycle takes 7 minutes to complete. At the end, it starts again but will select randomly the musical soudtracks to avoid endless repetitions.
