Hey pest18,

I really got into a buying spree with Blue water navies 1/350th scale resin subs a few years back.If you have, or want some experience with resin kits, they are really nice. Let's see, they make the Akula, Victor III, and Alfa, *built one of each of those*.I think they have expanded their offerings since then. These are all full hull models. I have a 1/350th scale Dragon/Shanghai Typhoon that will get my attention one of these days! It's styrene plastic. I'm pretty sure that Blue Water Navy, Pacific Front Hobbies, and maybe Model Expo may offer them on-line.
Good hunting!

I believe you can get some 1:1 subs direct from the Russian Navy ...

You can, cheap. but it's a major headache trying to sneak one through customsTongue [:P] actually a friend and I looked into this, thinking we could set one or two up as a display here in the states, you know, see a real live commie sub type thing but the fees for importing it was more than the sub was being sold for!![:0]
