Zvezda's 1/350
scale Oriol Submarine is available online from Squadron.com
Zvezda has released the Russian Nuclear Submarine K-266 "Oriol".
This vessel was launched in 1992 and still patrols with the Northern Fleet
today.
This is a very simple kit, reflecting the simple design of the
submarine.
Upon opening the box you are greeted by two small sprues and the
long hull halves. A total of 40 parts make up the entire kit, including three
parts for the stand. All parts are moulded in black styrene plastic. Decals for
the Oriol are also included.
Detail is nice and crisp, and there is not much flash present.
This subject will be an interesting model, and should appeal
both to Naval nuts and other modellers looking for something a little bit
different.
Recommended.
