Unless I'm badly mistaken, the HobbyBoss kits are the kit version of the Easy Model ones, which come pre-built.
I've got the both the SSN-21 Seawolf and the SSN-23 Jimmy Carter, and both the Kilo and Akula.
I've got two Oyashios. One is the Easy Model pre-built and the other is from Takara, a Japanese company.
Takara sells "candy packs", which is kind of like baseball cards here. You don't know what's in the package until you open it up. They've done a BUNCH of submamarines, including a 12-pack "History of JSMDF submarines"
The only Easy Model subs I don't have are the most recent ones, a Type IXB and a Type IXC U-Boat.
I even picked up two of their Type 33 PLAN subs and repainted one to be a Russian Romeo.
