Tamiya 31906 - 1/700 RUSSIAN SSGN KURSK (OSCAR II CLASS)  [31906]

Experience the Legacy of the Oscar II Class with Tamiya's Kursk Model Kit

The Tamiya 1/700 scale model of the Russian SSGN Kursk offers hobbyists a chance to delve into the Cold War era's naval prowess. The Oscar II class submarines, including the Kursk, were designed to counterbalance the might of U.S. aircraft carriers. With a displacement tonnage of 18,300 tons and a length of 154 meters, these submarines combined size with agility and stealth.

A Tribute to Naval Engineering

The Kursk, commissioned in 1995 as part of Russia's Northern Fleet, was renowned for its two-layer hull construction, housing twelve SS-N-19 anti-ship cruise missile launch tubes. This model captures the distinctive features of the Kursk, from its wide girth of 18.2 meters to its strategic missile capabilities.

Modeling Excellence

This kit is more than just a static display; it's an exploration into naval engineering. The model replicates sound dampening tiles, missile launchers, torpedo tubes, and water drainage slits with precision. The periscope and radar antenna can be positioned to reflect operational or stowed states, adding to the realism.

Perfect for Diorama Enthusiasts

The Kursk model is ideal for creating immersive dioramas, allowing modelers to craft dynamic scenes that capture the essence of naval operations. Whether displayed solo or as part of a larger collection, this model stands out for its historical and technical accuracy.
