After the start of World War I, AE1 & AE2 were sent to German New Guinea with the Australian Naval and Military Expeditionary Force. Both boats took part in the operations leading to the occupation of the German territory, including the surrender of Rabaul on 13 September 1914.

The kit of the AE Class submarine is unique in its construction being plank on bulkhead rather than a preformed resin or plastic hull. The kit comes complete with all parts and fittings, limewood planking and laser cut keel and bulkheads as well as highly detailed written building instructions with large colour photos.
The kit comes with two name plates so the model can be presented as either the AE1 or AE2.
This is a unique and important model to Australian naval and maritime history.

This is the first time I find a model if a sub from WWI and where the material is wood and fittings.
