DescriptionThe largest submarine ever built, the Russian ‘Typhoon’ Class is a nuclear-powered submarine, built in the 1970s and still in operation today. Its size means it can accommodate much more spacious living quarters, allowing the vessel to operate for months while submerged underwater (up to 120 days, but it can stay submerged for longer if needed). They come equipped with 6 torpedo tubes and an arsenal of ballistic missiles which can be configured with nuclear warheads.‘Tyhpoon’ is the name attributed to the class by NATO – the Soviet designation is Project 941 Akula.This is a great model for both enthusiastic beginners and more seasoned model builders. With 190 pieces, it’s more complex but not as advanced as some of the larger kits we’ve covered here. The detailing on the hull look fantastic and when you’ve painted it and added a bit more detail, the result will be a wonderful little model.Age: 12 Length: 50cmPieces: 190
