Hey MM, couldn't talk ya outta that boxed typhoon could I LOL,  just kiding we're not supposed to talk about trades or transactions here. Nothing is impossible just takes more time to find thats all. Do like your model though.

Alanger's Typhoon made Dragon's look like a toy. It's too bad that Alanger dissolved many years ago. Luckily I managed to acquire their K-401 & Typhoon a few years ago. The Typhoon is still in box. It's near impossible to find one these days.

I have the zvezda k-141 kursk in 1/350, simple build and very interesting how the missle tubes are placed. I' never been on a sub but it looks like the design leaves a little more room for the crew. A typhoon would be perfect for my naval collection, the search and wait continues.

I would be surprised if we didn't have a new-tool one in the next year or so from HobbyBoss or Bronco. The Alanger kit is more accurate than the earlier Dragon and Revell releases.

Cyber hobby did a 1/700 scale with a USS Cole (DDG-67) combo kit.  Haven't started it, but I too have the 1/350 Typhoon and look forward to starting it as well.  I wish there were more Typhoons out there

Was it Revell that made a Red October kit? What scale was that? As big as a Typhoon is,that may have been 1/350.

Yes pretty much so. There are two 1/350 kits of the Typhoon Class SSBN out there: Dragon and Alanger. Both are hard to find these days. Bronco has been gracing us lately with several new 1/350 Soviet & Russian sub kits in the past few years. Perhaps the will tackle this one as well in the near future.

Hello, it would appear that I once again have been bitten once again by the ship/sub bug. Are my only options for a 1/350 scale typhoon class(nato code name)e-bay or hope for a reissue? I usually lurk about armor and aircraft and won't bother you fine folks for much. Thanks
