Just saw these newly-released items on the Squadron Shop website. 1/350 scale pre-built modern subs from Model Rectifier Corp:

Kilo-class SSK

HMS Astute

USS Virginia SSN-774

PLAN Type 092 Xia Class SSBN

Ohhhh, nice!

I'm gonna print the Virginia and post it on the fridge, and date it Oct 13, so my kids will get the hint.

Hi Bill. Nice Subs.

But isn't the Astute missing something ?

Oh Ya ! A sandbar.

Sorry Bill but, had to post that.

They do look nice.

I kinda favor the Kilo. It seems more detailed.

Look nice I just hope they were bigger like 1:144. Well maybe 1/144 is a little too big but I may think 1:350 is a little too small. a foot long detailed modern submarine would be nice.

Castout - Here are the dimensions:

Kilo: 8.2-in
Astute: 10.8-in
Virginia: 12.9-in

Ah

Silly me. I am so used seeing little submarines from Japanese manufacturer.

They are from Easy model which usually made smaller scale submarines.

Love the models. Too bad there isn't a 688. Anyone know where to get a LA class model?

Do they have an Akula, Los Angeles, Typhoon, or Seawolf? I think I'll look.
