The Tamiya 1/700 scale replica of the Russian SSGN Kursk gives Canadian hobbyists a clear, compact way to study Cold War naval design. The Oscar II class was built to challenge carrier groups, and this model reflects that balance of bulk and stealth in a displayable scale.
Commissioned in 1995 for the Northern Fleet, the Kursk featured a double-hull layout with a dozen SS-N-19 missile tubes. This kit reproduces key external attributes, including the broad beam and missile housing, for accurate presentation on the workbench or in a showcase.
The set models sound dampening tiles, missile and torpedo apertures, and drainage slots with fine molding. Movable periscope and antenna parts let you pose the sail in active or stowed configurations for a more authentic scene.
This Tamiya Kursk kit works well in compact dioramas and mixed fleet displays. Its historical accuracy and fine surface detail make it a strong choice for modellers aiming to depict Cold War submarine operations.
