When i was a kid i had a collection of the major WW2 Battleships, German Tiger tank, and a few modern aircaft. Never a Uboat or modern submarine, because they were so hard to find back then.
Now they're really hard to find unless i buy online.

You have to be more specific, Kapitan.
Plastic models, I suppose. Which scale? Motorised or not? Check the links on the Subsim.com home page or go to: http://www.ModelWarships.com

Well its a 1/350 plastic air fix modelnot too many parts (as if there are on a sub) so thats about it.
White ensign models do a nice model of a trafalgar.They use resin for a better finish

Very off topic, Linton, but what does "Standby Q Routine" mean? Standby for silent running? :-?

Is that the Zvezda Hotel kit?
Where did you get it from?

I think you will be hard pressed to find a Yankee or Foxtrot model.
A Delta is a possibility.

I do know that there is a model of a Delta III out there just finding it, and i think your right about the foxtrot and yankee seems that the only ones are not the air fix models.

@ Kapitan:
Make sure you do a nice paint job with some wheathering on the model, because subs, esprecially modern ones, are as a model just boring. A nice paint job can bring the thing alive.
Last year(october) I got this from my sister and my brother-in-law, because I had helped them alot

I could get that for £24.99 in hobby and craft.
i just did that kit ill post pics later
but as abraham said you REALLY got to do a good paint job to bring out the details i had to modify the whole thing to make it look good.
the Oscar from Zvezda was MUCH better. the best russian made model ive ever seen!
and i have EVERY 1/700 scale russian sub ever made!
ill post them too
i cant wait for the november!
also i dunno if you know but marquet models is gonna release a Akula (971) too at 1/350 scale
too bad theres no Foxtrot :(
But... that trumpeter kit of the romeo will make a good hull for one :hmm:
but the bigest thing i have is a 1/200 scale yamato! That thing about 5 feet long! still in the box.
biggest sub i got is the revell 1/72 scale Type VII/c
