However if you want to get into subs cheaply MMB is now producing a Submarine kit for £90, which is a good price for whats offered (dynamic diver not a static) and being new to subs a good place to learn how model subs work!

Robbe U47 for £163.00, I think not, list price is £318.98 !

The U47 is a little more than £163 everywhere I have seen it.... almost double that in most places. If you have seen one advertised at that pric then please PM me where it is lol

The sea wolf which is priced at £163 is far cheaper then a U47 which is why i responded with my suggestion for MMB sub kit as an alternative option.
