The Tamiya 1/700 Kursk model provides Australian modellers with a well-detailed miniature of Cold War submarine architecture. The Oscar II class fused large displacement with reduced acoustic signature, traits echoed in this scale kit.
Brought into service in 1995, the Kursk had a two-hull layout and multiple SS-N-19 launch tubes. This model mirrors those design cues, emphasising the broad hull and missile arrangements for accurate visual reference.
The kit reproduces surface tiles, missile and torpedo apertures, and hull drainage lines with careful moulding. Periscope and radar parts can be posed to reflect operational or ported positions for display variety.
With its accurate silhouette and fine surface detail, the Tamiya Kursk is a strong candidate for display cabinets, grouped fleet presentations, and historically minded dioramas.
