Submarine models..where to find them???
Posted by Anonymous on Thursday, June 29, 2006 6:07 PM

Hi,

 

Ive always been fascinated with modern submarines.  Can someone point me to a online store that sells them?  Ebay has few models, and my googling skills arnt tuning up much.

 

Thanks!

I did a search on the word "submarine" on the website of Squadron Mail Order, one of the biggest and most popular online hobby product sources.  Here's what I got:  http://www.squadron.com/SearchResults.asp?ManuList=everything&Key=Submarine&ScaleList=everything&TypeList=everything&offset=0

The sheer number of products is kind of overwhelming - and how some of them made it onto that list is a little mysterious.  They're in alphabetical order by manufacturer.  Take a particularly close look at the kits listed under Trumpeter and Zvezda.  The biggest assortment of modern subs is the line offered by Yankee Modelworks.  These are resin kits - somewhat more challenging and considerably more expensive than styrene ones.

For an authoritative rundown on what's available, check out the kit review section of the Steel Navy website:  www.steelnavy.com.  That site also has links to a number of other distributors and kit manufacturers.

Hope that helps a little.  I suspect some other Forum members will jump in with suggestions regarding specific kits.

Youth, talent, hard work, and enthusiasm are no match for old age and treachery.

You could take a look at the vendor list at the SubCommittee.
