German Long Range Submariner Type U-IXB - Bronco NB5009

A mock-up of the Bronco brand kit: "German Long Range Submariner Type U-IXB - Bronco NB5009".

Type IX was a Long-range German submarine. Its role could be to serve as a command building to manage a "pack" of submarines. Its very long range allowed it to patrol the Indian Ocean, the Pacific and the southern Atlantic Ocean, as such it can be considered one of the best submarines produced by the Germans during the Second Monodal War.
