The HMS Astute embodies contemporary submarine technology as a nuclear-powered attack vessel with notable endurance at sea. This Hobby Boss 1/350 kit reproduces the vessel's tapered hull and fine deck features, making it attractive to scale enthusiasts.
Builders will find the 1/350 Astute a representative subject for learning the distinctions between attack and strategic submarine types. The class, constructed by BAE Systems in Barrow-in-Furness, is a substantial naval project with individual unit costs reported near $2.4 billion USD.
Expect multiple small components and careful joining to capture the smooth exterior lines; attention to seam filling and sanding will improve the final presentation for display or reference use.
