Hobby Boss 83511 1/350 PLAN Type 092 Xia Class Submarine Scale Kit  [HB-83511]

Hobby Boss 83511 1/350 Xia Class Submarine Overview

The Hobby Boss 1/350 PLAN Type 092 Xia Class Submarine model kit gives modelers a chance to study a notable Cold War era vessel in miniature. The kit recreates the distinctive silhouette of China's first ballistic missile submarine, preserving the main design cues and surface features that define the Xia Class. Attention to proportion and fine detail makes this a rewarding subject for collectors focused on naval history.

Naval Context and Modelling Interest

The Type 092 Xia Class occupies an important spot in modern naval development as China moved into ballistic missile submarine technology. First appearing in the late 1970s, the original platform represented an early step in strategic undersea capability. This kit renders the key elements of that platform so hobbyists can study and display the form and engineering milestones of the period.

Assembly Experience and Display Potential

Targeted at intermediate builders, this kit requires careful trimming and precise gluing to realise accurate joins and surface detail. When completed, the 1/350 scale model presents a compact but detailed representation that works well on shelves, in cabinets, or combined with other ships in a cold war themed grouping.
