Hobby Boss 1/350 PLAN Kilo Class Submarine Kit Overview

The Kilo class is known in naval circles for stealthy operation and reliable patrol performance. Hobby Boss recreates that profile at 1/350 scale, offering modellers a compact and accurate subject to assemble and display.

Service History and Design Notes

Developed originally in Russia, Kilo class boats have been adopted widely for their quiet propulsion and sonar capability. This kit aims to reflect those design cues while remaining suitable for shelf display.

Build Notes and Customising

Injection-molded components provide clean detail and tidy fit. The kit is suitable for modellers looking to practice hull assembly and surface finishing, with room to add aftermarket parts or extra paintwork for added realism.

Presentation and Collecting Tips

Once completed, the model suits a variety of display settings, from simple stands to larger dioramas. Its scale makes it easy to group with other naval models for themed exhibits.

Yes, the parts capture the major hull shapes and deck fittings, making it a solid option for historical displays and collections.
Basic modelling tools like sprue cutters, a hobby knife and sanding sticks are sufficient; tweezers and fine brushes help with small details and decals.
Decals are provided and should apply well with decal setting solution and steady hands; a clear coat can protect them afterwards.
