Type 212

This is where I will have information on the cylinder for the  Steve Neill 1/96 scale Type 212 hull kit.

I  really like this kit very much. It has everything going for it, nice size, easy transport, X-tail (for great control). I think it will be the sub you will always want to take with you because it is so user friendly. That is why I am using a Mini-R system for the cylinder design.

I am working on making the 212 cylinder into a kit. Contact me for more details on this.

The cylinder has completed testing and works great! It is the perfect choice for the 212 kit.

Here is a video of the 212 running with my Mini-R cylinder.    212 Video
