Ukraine model manufacturer AMP is proud to announce the upcoming release of their 1/144 Soviet midget sub “Piranha”. Retail price for this kit range from $16.45 in Europe to $32.32 in the Asian markets.
Designed for special operations and to engage surface ships located offshore, the Piranya is toughly built and is almost completely silent. The hull is comprised of a titanium alloy, that reduces the effectiveness of enemy mines. Divers can be deployed on sabotage missions. The Piranya's 1200 kW lead-acid batteries allows the submarine to remain underway for ten days and the submarines at sea replenishement capabilities allows the submarine within 8 hours to receive enought food, fuel and lubricants, and air for an additional ten days.

Interesting subject,I have built one of AMP'S WW2 Russian fleet subs in 1/350th, whilst it was not up the the latest AVF/ROG standards, and a bit "limited run", no locators, etc, it did have a reasonable level of detail, etch & decals, and was a very enjoyable build. I will look out for this. Thanks Kenny
