This is a 1/5th scale Type VIIc German WWII U-boat model Submarine. It is a movie effects miniature from the movie U-571. It was made as a functioning model with working ballast tanks so it could really dive and surface. It is approx 40 feet long and weighs several tons.

The outer skin is fiberglass and inside it has a metal frame and tanks for compressed air and ballast. What you see in the pictures is everything I have for it. there is no conning tower or deck plates etc.

It is mounted on a metal frame that has wheels but has sat for so long it has sank into the dirt a bit. It's going to take a fair effort to get it rolling and move it so make sure you are prepared for that.

With a little dressing up it could be a great business promo or just cool yard art. I would hate to see it go to scrap.

I am offering it for free but I do expect that it be picked up immediately and professionally.

It sure would look cool swinging on a mooring, or on the roof of a "submarine" sandwich shop.

I'd be putting it into the Chesapeake Bay and running it past the Norfolk Naval Base just for kicks every few weeks letting them scratch their heads on distance to target :?: and what the Hell is it :shock: Coast Guard would pull it over for Drug Intervention. :oops:
Really a neat thing to save if someone had logistics to grab it, the Sub Shop sounds idea (stick a Batman Penguin Character out the conning tower)

Winget,
I just had a brain storm....
Fly out to Seattle, strap an outboard too it and sail it home.
You could be lone wolf pack.

I wonder how many people (with no interest in the sub) asked if the jeep was for sale?

Pond not quite big enough but my buddy's track-hoe would remedy that.

Would have been well worth the effort and expense the see the look on the faces of the guests of the Labor day weekend bar-b-que when it surfaced!! :shock: :D !!!!
