1/50 Oberon-Class Submarine – High-Detail R/C Scale ModelBring a legend of the Cold War to the water with this highly accurate 1/50 scale replica of the Oberon-Class Submarine. Known for being among the quietest conventional submarines of their era, the O-boats are a favorite for scale enthusiasts due to their sleek, menacing lines and iconic bow dome.

The Real Legend: SpecificationsThe Oberon-class was the pinnacle of British post-war conventional submarine design.

Length: 89.9 meters (295 ft)

Beam: 8.1 meters (26.5 ft)

Speed: 12 knots surfaced / 17 knots submerged

Role: Long-range patrol and surveillance

Model OverviewThis model has been engineered specifically for Radio Control (R/C) conversion. Unlike static models, the internal architecture is designed to house a 100mm WTC (Watertight Cylinder).

Scale: 1/50

Length of Model: Approx. 180 cm (70.8 inches)

Hull Design: The hull is split longitudinally (horizontal split). This provides superior access to the internal components, linkage setup, and WTC placement compared to traditional vertical cuts.

WTC Compatibility: Designed to fit a 100mm diameter WTC (Note: WTC and electronics are not included).

Functional Features: The files include internal preparations to make the periscopes and masts electrically retractable, allowing for ultimate realism on the water.

Technical FeaturesOptimized for Printing: Divided into manageable sections to fit standard large-format printers while maintaining structural integrity.

Scale Detail: Includes accurate rivet patterns (where applicable), casing vents, rudder assemblies, and the distinctive sonar bow.

Easy Access: The split-hull design makes maintenance and battery swaps at the lakeside quick and easy.

What’s Included?High-resolution STL files for the full hull, conning tower (fin), and control surfaces.

Internal support structures for the 100mm WTC mounting.

Detailed assembly for the rudder and dive plane linkages.

Note: This is a digital STL file pack for 3D printing. To make the model operational, you will need a 100mm WTC, motor, ESC, servos, battery, and R/C gear.
