Hi Somboon

Thanks for sharing with us a couple of akula's.
Perhaps you could improve the Chakra with some flags too?

Congratulations,
Rui

Interesting vessel. What scale is the kit in? I know there are a wealth of Soviet / Russian submarine kits out there, is there 1 scale that covers the majority of them....like 350 (my favorite ship scale). It would be great if one of the submariners posted a list of what is out there and what scale. I keep hoping someone will put out 350 scale WW 2 German boats (Type VII and IX) to go with my Type XXI

Very nice subs... for sure the HobbyBoss modern subs are MUCh better (and cheaper!) than the ARII series.
