This is Zvezda's 1:144 scale Shchuka-class submarine. I like the lines of this sub, which I think look quite modern and even sporty, given its WW II vintage. I also love the Warhammery-looking net cutter on the bow!
Not much to say about the kit. It all went together reasonably well, although in this scale some of the parts were very weak and fiddly. This was built OOB except that I replaced the masts on the deck with metal wire and used E-Z Line for the rigging. The decals performed very well with a bit of Microsol. These include markings for four different vessels, and some very nice gold-effect text for the name plate.
Have a great day!
