Here I will post construction pictures of my current sub built, a 1/96 scale Akula II class submarine, modelled on K-157 Veper. This is one of the current Russian attack subs and is aprox 112 m long and displaces 9000 tons submerged. Unlike my last sub the Engel Typhoon which a modified kit, this build is from an fibreglass hull and fittings only (obtained from Scaleships in Belarus) with my own dive module and running gear. At 1/96 scale she comes out at 46” LOA and 5.5” beam, a much more manageable size.
