The ICM K‑Verbände Midget Submarines – Seehund & Molch (Set of 2) in 1:72 scale brings two historic Kriegsmarine ultra-small submarines to the workbench. Supplied under part number HC-ICMS020, this plastic model set captures the single-seat Molch and the larger, two‑man Seehund with faithfully reproduced proportions and fine surface detail.

The Molch was designed for coastal operations and powered by a single electric motor, capable of submerging to around 60 metres and reaching about 5 knots underwater. The Seehund offered improved seaworthiness with separate engines for surface and submerged running, and was regarded as the most effective German ultra‑small submarine by war’s end; several served post‑war with the French Navy. This kit features crisp hull plating, quality sprues and multiple decal options to help you achieve an authentic finish.

During the Second World War, the German Navy created a special K-Verbände (K-Verbände, full name Kleinkampfverbände der Kriegsmarine). Its tasks were to conduct sabotage and assault operations on rivers, at sea and in the coastal zone. The unit consisted of units of subversive boats, manned torpedoes, combat swimmers and various types of mini-submarines. One of these submarines was the single-seat ‘Molch’, designed for operations in the coastal zone. They were equipped with a single electric motor for surface and underwater propulsion, a submersible depth of up to 60 metres, and a maximum speed of 5 knots in the underwater position.

The Molch was built at the Deschhimag shipyard in Bremen, with a total of 393 Kriegsmarine units.  These submarines were deployed in the Mediterranean and North Seas as part of Compound K. Another type was the ‘Seehund’, which was larger, had improved seaworthiness and a two-man crew. They also had two separate engines for surface and submarine operations. By the end of the war, 285 units had been built, and they were considered the best type of German ultra-small submarine. After the war, several Seehunds served in the French Navy.
