Product Description

1/144 Scale. The Feb. 4th agreement was signed between China and the Soviet Union on February 4th 1959. According to this agreemant, the Soviet Union would supply China with 5 types of submarines. In 1960 the Agreement was terminated because of the sudden changes of the Sino-Soviet Union Relations. However, without any more outside help and by the joint efforts of design departments, China's Jiangnan shipyard finally installed and delivered the model 33 Submarine to the PLA in September 1965. Nice big kit Skill level 2

This review is from: Chinese Model 33 Torpedo Attack Submarine 1-144 by Trumpeter (Toy)

This is a very nice model of an unusual subject. The kit builds very well with little filler needed. This was my one of my first models from Trumpeter and I have buying other kits from them ever since. I got/built it a few years ago. There is a kit if the SSG version of this boat. That kit included the parts to build the SS version also, so if you are not sure which you want get the missle boat kit. This is a nice addition to a collection to show the evolution of the modern SS as it's lineage from the German type XXI is clearly evident. Built it is about 21"long.
