Engel 1:100 RC Russian Typhoon Class Submarine

I put this video together with pictures and videos I took over the past 14 months or so (well... mainly the past few months). There is still a lot of fine-tuning to do on the sub, but I would say she is 99% "seaworthy" and will be ready for her first voyage in no time.

hello

[@queencitypyro]

Nice job on the build. The "Kit" if we wish to call it that, has been refined considerably since it first was introduced by Engel. Mine I built in 1999-2001. Fair warning t anyone interested in building this model. This is involved. Not some "quickie" kit like a Revell, etc.Lot's of time needed to make her perfect.

[@kwanyeecheng]

I completely agree with you. This was my first build. I never built a RC sub before, but I really liked the Typhoon even knowing that it was probably the most difficult one to build from Engel. The whole thing took me about a year from start to finish. This master scale is truly great and vey detail.

Is this the Engel Tk-208 Master Set?

[@bardstables8909]

So this may be a dumb question. But if the water was clear, could this in theory dive 20 or 30 feet? Or does the radio waves not penetrate that deep? If not, what is the safe dive depth for something like this?

[@kwanyeecheng]

Hi Greg, no question is dumb : ) Water doesn’t treat RC radio signal kindly. Signal would attenuate extremely quick in water. The sub also has a pressure sensor. If she dives more than 6 ft or so, she would empty the ballistic tanks to surface. Hope this answer your question. Good day!

Take care my friend.

This is a kit out of Germany. The name of the company is called Engel. They provide you almost everything, which is awesome for someone who tried to build a sub for the first time : ) You just have to put them together, which could take a lot of time... They also list all the prices on their website. Thanks for the compliment, but there are way better video on KZbin by others. I am just trying my best ; ) Have a great day!

An incredible piece of work ! Fine engineering. It would be great to know the details of how you get her to submerge and surface. Now you need to install little ICBM's and torpedo tubes. Thanks for sharing. It is a real treat. BTW. Your Roll Tide link is dead. Nice music choice though, especially considering what happened to that real crew of the infamous Typhoon. Poor bastards. Anyone who admires Putin's methods should revisit that tale.
