Is this a new model? I've never seen it before. At 1/100 scale it would be about 5 feet long when built. I'm going to have to get this one. :grin:

This is truly the most impressive paper submarine model I've ever seen---in fact, it is the most impressive mass market sub model I've ever seen, period! The detail on even the inside of the torpedo/missile housing doors is astounding. The size is amazing. What a boon for Russian submarine fans.

Wow, that is truly impressive! What a tribute to the men lost on the real one. I look forward to seeing one built.

A long term project maybe?

But a very beautiful design - no doubt about it.

Definitely, but it is fascinating. Cutting edge Russian technology. What a colossus.

Has anyone checked out the pics of the American Sub that struck an underground mountain? I cannot believe that the sub was able to make it back and not stay down. Unfortunately 1 crewman died.

You have to be crazy to go down in a ship on purpose and these guys do it.

My father was on the CHARR in WWII and he had nightmares for years after. I went down in a diving bell in San Francisco and that did it for me for submersion. Normally I avoid sub models, but this monster intrigues me. Too bad it was a death boat. Bet those sailors on SAN FRANCISCO were glad that bulkhead didn't cave-in.

I'm getting it, but my next is either the HMV DERFFLINGER or the Fantom REPULSE.

Off topic but what the heck.

Hey GB, would that TY 45 be the Angraf kit?

I just bought one myself on EBay and got a great deal on it.

Book! Tons of parts, too many to count!

Back to topic. Awesome looking kit! I've never been a fan of models of subs due to lack of detail but this baby is definately on my Christmas list!
