I design and work on submarines for a living, and this model is accurate to the Virginia Class of submarines. However, it is very easy to build. There are not a lot of pieces. The molded details are very accurate and the finished model looks great. For someone who wants a simple model to build, yet is accurate in details, this is a great find. This is the first model I have seen for the Virginia Class anywhere.

Definitely NOT worth it, particularly for the price. Detail is excessively crude - I sanded most of it off - to get correct profile. Photo-etch sheet spells the word POWERED as POWERD. My advice: Wait for a reputable company to produce a Virginia Class SSN kit.

Excellent kit. Very detailed and ease of assembly. Only thing I couldn't do was use the photo etch, other wise a great kit.

Looks great, easy to build, molded hull looks great. Very small medal parts hard to hold and put on. Metal parts area't really necessary.

In referring to the bow planes , the early boats were built with bowplanes. Following a Navy program to operate under the polar ice they were moved in building to the current sail planes. This is a model of a current yet older version
