Attacks on this boat and other events

16 Apr 1940
The British submarine HMS Porpoise fired six torpedoes at U-3 about 10 miles southwest of Egersund, Norway and heard a detonation, which was in fact a G7a torpedo fired at HMS Porpoise by the U-boat which had missed and detonated at the end of its run.It was believed for many years that Porpoise had sunk U-1. U-3 escaped unscathed.

Men lost from U-boats

Unlike many other U-boats, which during their service lost men due to accidents and various other causes, U-3 did not suffer any casualties (we know of) until the time of her loss.

Most Harbor Models' kits are large and kings of the water. With ships like the Invader and Mr Dardy which can pull up to 800 lbs these kits are extremely powerful.
All Harbor Models' kits are considered 'semi-kits'. 'Semi-kit' means all parts are supplied to create a static model, running gear is optional and extra. In all kits you will receive a hand laid up fiberglass hull, accommodations, pilot house and smoke stacks. They will also include a fittings set complete with doors, hatches, portholes, fire hoses, life rings and other small accessories to spruce up your boat. These vary depending on the kit so investigate the fittings supplied on the boat's information page. All kits also include full size plans and image set so you can get as detailed as you'd like.
Please feel free to contact us for more details or with any questions.
