German Type IXD RC Submarine in

This is an overview of the layout of a beautiful scratchbuilt German Type IXD RC submarine, originally built by Dwayne Hill (check out his channel at / windsorsub .
This was refurbished, repainted, and shipped to a new owner this July 4th week.
Sincere apologies for the lack of a dive. The ballast system vent stuck during her maiden voyage, so she was surface-only. She still strikes a gorgeous silhouette, though!
For more information on this and many other projects, information, resources, links and products for RC submarines, please be sure to visit my site at www.nautilusdrydocks.com.
Thanks for watching!

The weathering looks amazing, very realistic

[@phantasmone532]

The builder is an absolute genius and your weatherization masterpiece actually looks like steel great job Bob

[@jeffsmith2702]

Wow! Beautiful Type IXD...incredible detail and built from scratch...super talent!! Thanks for the video!

[@TheEvertw]

Nicely done! Love the systems, and the weathering touch-up.

[@andrewjenery1783]

Amazing restoration work and very realistic detailing

[@ryanm.191]

Go to a battleship meet-up but stand on the other side of the lake and don’t introduce yourself or show what your sailing and wait for them to get going, then appear out of nowhere

[@Slycarlo]

Ryan M. That’s the most evil thing i ever heard

[@k3zz463]

Ryan M. Don’t even appear just torpedo them and escape through a drainage pipe

[@ThuanDuong-pv3xu]

@Ryan M , submarines should have wings on both sides to resist whirlpools due to tides, storms, and sea navel ... and to balance ice when floating quickly, diving quickly

[@ryanm.191]

Thuan Duong they do

[@grownjohnboy]

this video has motivated me to restart my PT-109. It is a Lindberg offering that is 1/32 scale and dying for modification. My neighbors have these speedy little boats, toys that go in the water. I have a toy like aircraft carrier that I bring out on a calm evening but looking at this has got me rooting through my stash for stuff. Thank you for posting this.

[@morriganravenchild6613]

That's a great model! Excellent bit of work!

[@andygotit]

I'm very impressed! You really did a great job, congratulations!

Amazing, really amazing. My Grandpa drove on U-47. Big Greetz from Germany

[@peetelectronics9781]

Very beautiful build, nice finished paint job.

Beautiful boat, thanks for sharing.

[@worldwarmini3919]

Great video! This is the inspiration I need to start a 1/72 scale U-Boat.

Wow, Oh Amazing !!!! Look like Little Real Textures and Real Life.

[@drenalin66]

[@thewedge8823]

your weathering and ageing of the finish is stunning!! can definitely be used in a movie

[@wramsey2656]

Excellent craftsmanship and video, also the music 👍

[@davidperry970]

Excellent job on the Patina very realistic.

[@7markhunter]

I enjoy watching a long winded video about a submarine build which in the end doesn't show any footage submerging. Well done.

[@per-henrikpersson1884]

An absolutely fantastic beautyful modell. Thanks for this video. By the way when I was a kid living in the most southern part of Sweden close to Denmark in practise the Danish capital Copenhagen was like our capital and not Stockholm! My first visit to Stockholm where 1968 when I was 17! But everytime my father took me to wisit Copenhagen we allways visitied the museum Töjhusmuseet the museum for the history of the Danish forces. Two of its most noteable pieces where two WWII German mini U-Boats. An one man sub made of a torpedo and the other one the bigger sub with two torpedos. Both where found stranded on the Danish coast in the end of the war. Maybee 20 years ago Germany wanted to show one or two such subs in their museums but it was impossible to find any until they where told that the Danish museum had TWO german mini subs!. So in the end they ended up in a german museum. I dont know if they had to pay or not for them. By the way a former friend who died more than 10 years ago was a modell builder as a second job. He has made professional models of subs, destroyers and torpedo boats for swedish and international navy musrums and have written a couple of advanced well known books about ship modelling and a small book over all the worlds all preserved submarines and also visitied all those museums. He also designed the pin in gold for the modern swedish submarine that everybody who went on the first tour with the submarine with the old classical swedish submarine namne "Näcken". Näcken was a mythical man that sits completely naked in the fall of a smal river in the woods! I believe that the name Näcken comes from the swedish word naken that is the same as the english word nude! Before I met him the first time had I admired his modells at different museums in sweden. But anyhow - thanks for thevideo😁 And by the way the second time the first Swedish Näcken class submarines built in the WW II where also mine-laying submarines! And one fameous swede designed one of the first submarine in sweden 1885 but it was a private project but he also later (1886) designed a couple of submarines to the Turkeys Navy. But ther where other submarine projects in Sweden before 1865.

[@Unna1969]

The mini subs really were taken out of the Danish museum and were never returned? Under normal circumstances museums give out items on loan, but after the special exhibition in the partner museum is over the items come back.

[@The_Snowy_Tiger]

Um... this is the longest comment i ever read.

[@per-henrikpersson1884]

Tiger 3818 hmmm.... Did you really read it all? Then Im impressed😁

[@scudwerfer]

as others said - no diving. I am not a submarine guy, but this modell looks amazing!

[@zacharywindover9840]

Looks amazing!

[@CPDheadstomp]

Great paint job.

Ein sehr schönes Modell. Tolle Aufnahmen im Wasser. Super. Viele Grüße aus Spanien.

[@BelloBudo007]

To my untrained eye it's very impressive. Especially liked the rust look. Like others on here, I'd of like to have seen a dive, dive, dive. But great work.

[@MrJairo3259]

Good work!

[@janezjonsa3165]

Nice job!

[@LyfovRyan51]

Amazing result

[@Timotheus157]

Love the sub! Salute!

[@blusnuby2]

Stunning sub ! Nice touch showing it emerge from under that culvert...Reminds me of (the real thing) departing a sub pen in La Rochelle, France circa 1942.

[@joezeit7391]

Way cool, I was a little bummed not to see it dive!

[@danpos1971]

That looks amazing! I'm an RC Warbird guy, but I can see how I could get into RC boats and U boats. Great weathering job.

[@sonartech7721]

That is so cool. Great job. I bet it would be crazy tough to do but if it submerged that’d be insane!!

[@spawnq39]

У меня чуть сердце не остановилось от переизбытка эмоций. Автор - это просто фантастика!!!!

[@dimarusful]

Андрей Коновалов у меня тоже эмоции зашкаливали, когда я увидел титры, но не увидел погружения. Спрашивается нахрена нужен это макет субмарины не умеющей выполнять прямое назначение?

[@user-lp3fp4vc9y]

Gut gemacht 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[@wingnutcarl]

weathering is spot on!

[@DickGibson]

[@121Gw-Designs]

Very good job...is awesome.

[@commentingpausedtoprotectus]

No wonder the crew suffered during the war, the conditions on these little subs must have been awful. Barely enough room to breathe nevermind fighting a war! Thanks for the video :)

[@smannee]

You have an amazing boat.

[@MaxDire-qj8dp]

this makes me want to get into another part of the rc hobby, the cylinder making with its systems is challenging though.

[@tomthompson7400]

fine work

[@davescheer5038]

Like the picture on your site; two Italian guys see a German sub come out from under the bridge one looks at the other and says ! Hey louigi is'a that'a " you " boat ! No im'a just' look !

[@Minong_Manitou_Mishepeshu]

Very cool. If you watch the vid at 1/2 speed it looks like a real sub moving across the water.

Very Nice my friend

Hello, a good version of your Type IX Long Range Fighter Submarine. The "Fast Diver" is also really a nice building project. Greetings condock24👍

Good job

[@TonysRcTechboom]

Totally amazing my friend, fantastic video, liked and subbed you my friend well done 👍😀👍

[@Space_redneck]

A submarine with no submerge 10/10

[@darrinsinger4231]

I wish that you would have been able to do a static dive with it, being a former submariner I can tell you that all dives let alone surfacing's are not fast as one would think. Awesome detail on that boat to include your touch up paint making her look like she has been at sea and not right out of drydock

[@panxomontoya9589]

Amazing!!

[@Dutch_T]

I think the only downside to 2.4 thousand people disliking this video is because 95% was talking and only 5% was the U-boat in action u need to swap those around

[@PanyingPilot]

What Tsg761 said.

[@pauldietrich8994]

I like this video. It's so realistic right down to having a model sub pen.

[@davidcampoverde7491]

Amazing proyect

[@Alex-cn9uj]

Love the design, would have been nice to see one go under fully and come back up.

[@saintpepsi2349]

Fascinating! Wonderfull Work. Respect! Sadly, im to stupid for that.

[@juser7430]

Just awesome 💪

[@Advection357]

I was wondering if it dives... & it does! Awesome

[@beedeetridip8480]

Beautiful boat and we'll engineered. Should be more exciting to watch when it dives and cruising under the water.

[@sebastiaannoe7307]

We’ll = we will Well = adverb of good

[@KarlHansenandcompany]

Beautiful scale. The patina you gave is a cut above.

[@randomdude1786]

really really nice work, a wireless camera with a view of the underwater would be awesome on that
