Dragon released a couple of 350th LA boats in a couple of different configurations. None of the others have been done in plastic in 350th; Revell did a box (230th scale I believe) Skipjack. Revell has released a couple of boomers in various box scales; one a re-pop of a Renwal kit. But if you want consistent scales in plastic, 350th is currently the scale of choice... 1/144 may be comperable in a couple of years however (Trumpeter has started down this road with a Kilo and so-so Seawolf, Revell has since released a U-212 and they've been fairly well received.

Dragon has released in plastic (off the top of my head) a Flight I and Flight II LA boat, an Ohio SSBN (no SSGN yet unfortunately), and an Alfa (as a LA/Alfa adversary type set). A Seawolf is due out sometime this year. Alanger's releases I covered earlier. Zvezda's has released the Hotel and November class, but also a couple of Oscar II releases (Kursk and Oriol).

1/700th might be a scale to look into, but I haven't seen anything recently and the stuff I have seen I haven't for a while, so it may be hard to find.

If they did I don't recall it, but I didn't mention the Dragon Typhoon because the Alanger kit is much better in terms of detail accuracy; the dragon kit lacks the prop shrouds and has a lot of other things on the stern that are missing or incorrect.

Well, it ain't strictly correct either, but I don't remember the details of what was wrong. The Typhoon and Alfa were kitted before a lot of the research we have now was available and were "best guesses." Not BAD, but not entirely accurate either.

What you might want to do is go to the Subcommittee's website and look through the static model section as there's tons of info there, and in the case where a subject hasn't been covered (They've converted board software a couple of times and lost posts) there will be very intense bubble heads who can help.

That's about where my build is hung up; since they're not circular or oval but a sort of compound circle/hex shape I haven't figured out what to do about them....

You can actually do a flight 1, 2or 3 with the dragon kits. Flight 1 is with the sail planes and no VLS hatches, flight 2 is sail planes and VLS hatches and flight 3 is bow planes and VLS hatches. They do build into some pretty nice boats, I've done a few. Tracey didn't dragon also put out a kit that had a 688 and a Typhoon? I did a quick search but nothing.

White Ensign has one listed in their catalog but it appears to be a waterline kit; you may want to e-mail them and double-check.

Hi Mike

And just to make a little more confusion why not start your adventure in 1/700?
Most of Cold War period submarines are presented either in plastic and in resin, being much cheaper in this scale...
Hobby Boss is starting to release in plastic, in kit form, and Trumpeter as them already built and painted (same kits, which the original were made by Pitroad and released as painted/built models in Japan under Takara label).
Apart from the Hobby Boss list which has reached the 15 item list, released and to be released, you also have the older DML/Dragon double series, with a Warsaw pact versus NATO/Allied force sub, these being also released under the label of Revell Monogram and Italeri. And of course there are JAG, Loose Canon and other resin manufacturers that also produce other items.

Give it a though... they are cheaper and will occupy less space and in most of them, you can make them waterline or full hull versions.
