Hobby Boss 1:700 Scale USS SSN-23 Jimmy Carter Submarine Overview

The USS SSN-23 Jimmy Carter makes a strong addition to a naval model lineup. As the final Seawolf class boat, it includes a distinctive Multi-Mission Platform that increases hull length by roughly 30 metres versus earlier units, allowing space for specialised gear and experimental systems.

Assembly Notes and Operational Background

This 1:700 scale Hobby Boss kit reproduces the Jimmy Carter's complex profile, giving modellers a chance to examine its unusual hull modifications. The kit reflects the submarine's roles in covert naval support and surveillance, and builders will value the accurate small-scale detail and careful engineering of the parts.

Presentation and Curated Display Appeal

When finished, the model displays the modern capabilities of the Seawolf design and fits well in a contemporary naval collection. Its scaled detailing works equally well for standalone display or in a group of modern submarines.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1:700
  • Material: Plastic
  • Assembly: Glue required
  • Paint: Required for accuracy
The kit has small, detailed parts that reward patience. An intermediate modeller with steady tools and basic experience in small-scale assembly should complete it without major issues.
Use flat naval grey and subtle panel shading for authenticity. Acrylic or enamel model paints both work; use thin coats and reference photos for tone.
Yes, the 1:700 scale is common for modern naval collections, so the Jimmy Carter will match well alongside other recent submarine kits.
