During development, it was designated as “Thomas II”, and production of serial models, known as “Molch”, began in July 1944. The mini-submarine was equipped with a single electric motor for surface and underwater operation, which limited its combat capability. The depth of immersion was up to 60 meters, and the maximum speed in the underwater position was 5 knots. The hull consisted of three sections, with a chair for a single crew member in the centre section. The Molch was built at the Deschhimag shipyard in Bremen, and 393 units were produced in total. As part of the special sabotage formation “K”, these submarines were used in the Mediterranean and North Seas, making 140 trips to sea by the end of World War II.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eITEM NUMBER:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eS.019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSCALE:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1:72\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDATE:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e18.09.2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTIME PERIOD:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWW2\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMARKINGS:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMidget submarine \"Molch\", training sub-unit of formation \"K\" (K-Verbände), 1944\u003cbr\u003eMidget submarine \"Molch\", formation \"K\" (K-Verbände), North Sea, 1945\u003cbr\u003eMidget submarine \"Molch\", formation \"K\" (K-Verbände), North Sea, 1945\u003cbr\u003eMini-submarine \"Molch\", South African Museum of Military History, Johannesburg, 2000s\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBOX SIZE:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e247 x 183 x 33 mm\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNUMBER OF DETAILS:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e34\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMODEL SIZE (LENGTH X HEIGHT):\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e152 х 51 mm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","published_at":"2024-06-10T13:01:33+02:00","created_at":"2024-06-10T13:01:34+02:00","vendor":"ICM","type":"Scale Model Kits","tags":["Brand_ICM","Category_Ships","Scale_1\/72 Scale","Type_Submarines"],"price":54995,"price_min":54995,"price_max":54995,"available":true,"price_varies":false,"compare_at_price":null,"compare_at_price_min":0,"compare_at_price_max":0,"compare_at_price_varies":false,"variants":[{"id":46121574334715,"title":"Default Title","option1":"Default Title","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":"4823044409440","requires_shipping":true,"taxable":true,"featured_image":null,"available":true,"name":"ICM - 1\/72 U-Boat Type ‘Molch’ WWII German Midget Submarine","public_title":null,"options":["Default Title"],"price":54995,"weight":0,"compare_at_price":null,"inventory_management":"shopify","barcode":null,"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_allocations":[]}],"images":["\/\/jixhobbies.co.za\/cdn\/shop\/files\/ICM---1-72-U-Boat-Type--Molch--WWII-German-Midget-Submarine.jpg?v=1718017295"],"featured_image":"\/\/jixhobbies.co.za\/cdn\/shop\/files\/ICM---1-72-U-Boat-Type--Molch--WWII-German-Midget-Submarine.jpg?v=1718017295","options":["Title"],"media":[{"alt":null,"id":35764119306491,"position":1,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":1.333,"height":1080,"width":1440,"src":"\/\/jixhobbies.co.za\/cdn\/shop\/files\/ICM---1-72-U-Boat-Type--Molch--WWII-German-Midget-Submarine.jpg?v=1718017295"},"aspect_ratio":1.333,"height":1080,"media_type":"image","src":"\/\/jixhobbies.co.za\/cdn\/shop\/files\/ICM---1-72-U-Boat-Type--Molch--WWII-German-Midget-Submarine.jpg?v=1718017295","width":1440}],"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_groups":[],"content":"\u003ch1\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eU-Boat Type ‘Molch’ WWII German Midget Submarine\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eICM S019\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eExcludes all glues, paints and tools necessary to assemble.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Molch was a single-seat ultra-small submarine designed for operations in the coastal zone and belonged to the so-called special assault forces.
