Ohhhh, nice! :Kaleun_Los: 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. :up: But isn't the Astute missing something ?

Oh Ya ! A sandbar. :haha: Sorry Bill but, had to post that. :DL

They do look nice. :yep: 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
Xia: 13.5-in

:arrgh!:

Ah :D

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

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

Those are normally 1:700 scale, although I've seen some larger ships premade at 1:1200 scale. I've made a few of those 1:700 scale boats by hand (pre-builts are no fun) and some can be big, the Typhoon runs 10 inches, a 688 and Akula 6 1/2 inches and my Burke class DDG is about 9 inches.

I recently purchased HMS Astute. Not bad models for the price:up:.

I must say, that Virginia-class SSN is looking marvelous!

Wow, those are great. Me want one now! :)

Cant seem to find these, at least not prebuilt. Anyone woth a link? I may need one to spice up the man-cave.....

I have both the Astute and the Xia which I got on ebay. I suggest you look on there if you can't source them from anywhere else.

No 688s?
 

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

Awesome
 

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

love the Kilo one, nice models.
