Hobby Boss 87010 PLA Navy Type 033 Submarine Kit

The Type 033 is a variant developed from the ROMEO-class lineage, featuring upgrades aimed at reducing acoustic signature and extending operational utility. A total of 84 units were constructed from 1962 to 1984, with several used for training or supplied to other navies.

Construction Notes and Display Potential

This Hobby Boss 1:700 scale kit provides clear parts and surface engraving that make assembly straightforward for a careful modeller. The built model displays the characteristic silhouette of the Type 033 and sits neatly on a shelf or within a small-scale naval grouping.

Yes, many builders mount 1:700 submarines on small acrylic stands or low plinths to give a clean display, or incorporate them into waterline dioramas.
Aftermarket photo-etched sets and fine decals exist for some 1:700 subjects and can add railings, antennae and sharper deck details if you want higher fidelity.
Use thin paints, a steady hand or magnification and fine brushes. Pre-shading and light washes help bring out panel lines and surface detail at this scale.
