Our friends at Hobby Boss have sent us word about a new 688 class kit. This is a 3 in 1 offering in 1/350 scale and all new tooling.
The kit can be built as any of the three variants of the 688 class. You can make all three flights of the class, Flt I, Flt II w/VLS, and Flt III. The kits contains over 60 parts and comes with a photo etched nameplate and propeller.

Be sure to check your LHS or favorite online retailer for this kit. Be sure to let them know you saw it on MSW!

Thanks Jim! 2012 looks to be even more promising than 2011 when it comes to modern submarines! On to the topic: although these are only CAD images, I am really disappointed to see that the Sturgeon tail keeps making it into the 688-class. Darn, even Dragon did correct theirs! Good thing they are offering 3 in 1 combo, though it would be interesting to see how they come to terms with the VLS (and how NOT to model it for early 688's) and the pattern: hopefully they are not going with the 3+3 on each side. In the meantime I have the other 688's coming. We shall see.
