The Eduard 53228 set is a high-quality collection of photo-etched parts, specially created for the German Submarine Type VIIC/41 model in 1/350 scale, manufactured by Revell. This dedicated set enables modelers to significantly expand the possibilities for achieving the highest level of detail and realism in their model, thanks to subtle details unattainable with traditional plastic components.

Historical Overview

The Type VIIC/41 submarine was one of the most advanced Kriegsmarine vessels used by Germany during World War II (years 1943–1945). It was an improved version of the extremely popular Type VIIC boats—the most widely produced U-boats in history. The VIIC/41 variant stood out with a reinforced hull, allowing for much greater diving depths, as well as upgraded radar and mine countermeasure equipment. These submarines operated mainly in the Atlantic, participating in the naval blockade of Great Britain and attacking Allied convoys.
