Russian Navy Yasen Class SSN, 1/350 - Hobby Boss 83526

The Russian Navy Yasen Class SSN Hobby Boss 83526 is a plastic injection-molded model kit to assemble at 1/350, depicting a versatile nuclear attack submarine of the Yasen class of the Russian Navy. This reference lets you reproduce a modern vessel at a scale well-suited to naval collections and display on a stand.

The Yasen-class submarine

The Yasen class, also known as Project 885, brings together nuclear attack submarines designed for multi-role missions. Their distinctive silhouette, dominated by a streamlined hull and an integrated sail, makes them an interesting subject for enthusiasts of contemporary military naval vessels and Russian submarines.

The Hobby Boss 83526 model kit

This Hobby Boss kit offers a full-hull representation, made up of upper and lower parts. The hull details are reproduced on the surface, while the diving planes are provided separately. The assembly allows you to choose between a configuration with masts or periscopes deployed or retracted.

The box includes injection-molded plastic parts, photo-etched elements, a decal sheet, and a display stand. The decals in particular help complete the hull markings and flags. Once assembled, the model measures approximately 342.9 mm in length.

Assembly and finishing

As with any plastic naval model kit, careful preparation of the seam lines and fitting the two hull halves contribute to a clean finish. The photo-etched parts are best handled with a fine-tipped tool and glued with an appropriate glue.

A primer makes it easier to check the seams before painting. Decorating a modern submarine is typically done using restrained tones; then a light weathering can highlight the structural lines, openings, and hull reliefs without obscuring the vessel’s operational appearance.

Scale 1/350

At a scale of 1/350, every dimension of the real submarine is reduced 350 times. This format makes it possible to display the model on its included stand or to integrate it into a collection dedicated to modern military ships and submarines.
