<div dir="ltr">A very pretty design as well. I like the purity of that teardrop shape, which seems so hard to fabricate. Very odd to have what apparently is a second motor in the bow, although missing a prop now. But taking a second look I notice the rivets visible at the stern, plus the snorkel. Hmmm... maybe this thing is real after all.</div>

<br></div><blockquote type="cite"><div><div dir="ltr">Historically I also find it also somewhat surprising (I'm originally from Argentina). The Argentine army was based on the German army, with similar uniforms, Mauser rifles, etc. But the Argentine navy was based on the Royal Navy and typically had equipment of UK or US origin. The year 1940 would be sort of a tough one to send anything military from Germany to Argentina. I also wonder if this was really a navy boat at all, what its mission might have been - it does not appear to be any more threatening than a K-250, which is to say not a danger to anything whatsoever. Given Carsten's comprehensive records and knowledge of German subs large and small, I look forward to his opinion.<div>

The Delphin comes the closest but was developed in 1944. And none of the 3<br>
prototypes still exists..<br>
If I am right it is far to expensive..<br>

Came across this mini sub for sale.<br>
It resembles the R300, with Emile's acrylic sail on it.<br>
