Russian Navy Alfa Class SSN, 1/350 - Hobby Boss 83528

Russian Navy Alfa Class SSN model kit by Hobby Boss 83528 recreates a 1/350 scale Alfa-class attack submarine. This plastic kit to be assembled belongs to the Hobby Boss range of submarines and allows you to build a compact representation of a modern military underwater vessel.

The Alfa class, also known by the Soviet designation Project 705 Lira, is a family of nuclear-powered attack submarines. The SSN acronym stands for a nuclear-powered attack submarine. This subject is an interesting choice for a collection focused on Cold War navies or for a small-scale naval diorama.

Once assembled, the model measures 232,5 mm in length and 27,1 mm in width. It includes more than 30 parts, a display base, and photo-etched details, including items intended for the nameplate and the propeller. The 1/350 scale reduces the dimensions of the real submarine by a factor of 350, while keeping a size suitable for display.

Assembling a submarine at this scale requires careful preparation of the hull halves and small parts. Neat gluing, removing the seam lines, and applying paint evenly help highlight the streamlined hull shapes. Photo-etched elements are best handled with fine tweezers and glued precisely.
