Hobby Boss 87010 PLA Navy Type 033 Submarine - 1:700 Scale

The Type 033 submarine played a notable role in mid 20th century naval development, evolving from the ROMEO-class layout with upgrades focused on quieter operation and prolonged service life. Production ran from 1962 to 1984, producing 84 hulls that served in active fleets and training units or were transferred abroad.

Build Quality and Display Notes

This Hobby Boss 1:700 scale kit gives modellers a chance to assemble a faithful miniature of the Type 033, with surface detailing that helps capture the boat's profile. The assembly rewards careful work and the completed model sits well in a shelf display or as part of a small diorama illustrating period naval scenes.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1:700
  • Material: Plastic
  • Assembly: Requires glue
  • Paint: Not included
Standard modelling tools such as plastic cement, a hobby knife, fine files, and sandpaper are useful. Tweezers and fine brushes help with small parts and painting.
The kit is best for modellers with some prior experience; parts are straightforward but require precise gluing and neat paintwork to look their best.
Yes, builders often add photo-etched parts, aftermarket decals, or fine rigging to enhance realism, but these are optional and require additional skills and tools.
