Here are three modern submarine models I've built recently. All three are 1/700 kits from HobbyBoss. HobbyBoss have put out a huge number of these recently, including some subjects (like the modern Japanese subs) that aren't found elsewhere.

So here we have the JMSDF Harushio:

and the USS Jimmy Carter:

and the JMSDF Oyashio.

Nice work! I don't think I could work that small, at least not that neatly! :)

Thanks! For the money, you can't beat these little HobbyBoss kits.

The Jimmy Carter is about 5" - the other two more like 4".

Nice little builds! Bronco are bringing out some new modern subs in 1/350 too.

Nice!
The only ones I have built, are the Los Angeles ones, and a few Russian ones from Dragon.
I tend to keep them in the boxes now, as they are very pricey.
