Hobby Boss 1/350 PLAN Kilo Class Submarine Scale Model

The PLAN Kilo class submarine is widely respected among naval modelers for its low acoustic signature and distinctive hull lines. Hobby Boss captures that profile in this 1/350 scale kit, giving builders a compact but accurate representation to add to a naval collection.

Background and Operational Role

Originating from Russian design, Kilo class boats have earned a reputation for quiet operation and capable sonar suites, factors that made them attractive to many navies including the PLAN. This kit reflects the vessel's characteristic shape and service relevance.

Assembly Experience and Detailing

Parts are precision-molded to reproduce the submarine's contours and deck fittings. Builders with basic modeling skills will find the assembly rewarding, and experienced modelers can add extra weathering or photo-etched details to enhance realism.

Showcase and Shelf Presence

Finished, the model makes a neat display piece that pairs well with other 1/350 naval subjects. Its compact footprint suits crowded shelves and dioramas, while included decals help achieve an authentic finish.
