The Tamiya 1/700 Kursk model gives UK modellers a compact, faithful take on a Cold War era SSGN. The Oscar II class combined substantial size with tactical roles against surface groups, traits this kit aims to convey in miniature.
Commissioned in 1995 into the Northern Fleet, the Kursk used a two-hull arrangement and carried SS-N-19 anti-ship missiles in a bank of launchers. The model highlights these signature external details for faithful representation.
The kit models sound damping tiles, missile and torpedo housings, and hull drainage slots with crisp moulding. Periscope and radar elements are designed to be set either raised or retracted for varied display options.
Whether shown as a lone showcase piece or integrated into a fleet vignette, this Kursk kit offers detailed surface work and a true-to-prototype outline suitable for display and study.
