I bought a bunch of submarine kits at 1/700 scale that were discounted in a model shop the other day, they were 3.99 each. Judging by the text on the box they are from China (Hobby Boss).
The ones I got were a Russian Kilo Class, the SSN-21 Seawolf and a JMSDF Oyashio Class. They're actually quite nice, with alternate sail parts in the kit so you can easily build them in surfaced or submerged configuration and a dinky little stand to display them on, and believe it or not, the screws in the kit are actually really well done, which surprised me at that scale in plastic.
