Since the film "The Hunt for Red October" © , the Alfa-class nuclear submarine has become a symbol of Russian attack submarines. Neither before nor since have submarines been built with speeds exceeding 40 knots with the capability of some of the deepest diving of any attack submarine in the world. The elegant, streamlined lines aren't just impressive on the shelf; the Alfa also delivers outstanding performance on the water.
These qualities make the prototype of Project 705 Lira (Russian original designation) particularly interesting for submarine model building.
To ensure precise control, the stern section is pre-assembled. All boat surfaces feature exemplary engravings, and a comprehensive optional decal set from RCSUBS.CZ completes the Alfa-class model. Included are a bayonet fitting and a pre-assembled and tested ballast tank with an end-of-travel cutoff. All profiles, standard parts, and assembly materials are included separately packaged for use during construction. This kit builds into a handy model that offers breathtaking performance on the water. From lightning-fast to elegant: you, the model captain, decide!
