Explore the Oscar II Class through a Tamiya Kursk Model

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.

Historic Submarine Details Recreated

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.

Precision Parts for Realistic Builds

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.

Designed for Diorama and Display Use

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.

The kit is 1/700 scale with a finished length of about 205mm and a beam near 26mm, ideal for shelf display or small dioramas.
Use fine hobby cement for plastic joins and enamel or acrylic model paints for the hull. A light primer helps decals and subtle weathering stick to the surface.
Yes, the periscope and radar antenna are designed to be positioned either raised or stowed, allowing some dynamic display options.
