Overview of the Hobby Boss 83517 1/350 Ming Class Submarine

The Hobby Boss 1/350 Type 035 Ming Class kit reproduces the characteristic hull and superstructure of this late 20th century submarine. The model gives modellers a compact, accurate reference piece that reflects key external details.

Role and Design Features

The Ming Class was introduced as a progressive design to address earlier limitations, with changes to hull form and onboard fittings. This kit captures those defining features so collectors can assess the class in reduced scale.

Building Considerations and Showcase Ideas

Assembly rewards careful gluing and precise painting to highlight hatches, masts, and hull surfaces. Completed models display well on a simple base or as part of a maritime vignette, emphasising their naval profile.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/350
  • Material: Plastic
  • Assembly: Requires glue
  • Paint: Not included
Out of the box it builds into a convincing model, though some modellers add fine-detail sets to enhance railings and small fittings.
Crew figures and small-scale harbour fittings in 1/350 complement the model; water effects and a low-profile stand also improve presentation.
Keep it away from direct sunlight and dust; a display case or covered shelf will preserve paint and delicate parts over time.
