Sous-marin Akula Project 971 Shchuka-B modèle statique à l'échelle 1/200

Akula Class (Project 971) Submarine – 1/200 Static Display Scale
This is a highly detailed 1/200 scale static display model of the iconic Russian Project 971 Shchuka-B (NATO name: Akula). While its 1/100 "big brother" is designed for RC, this version has been specifically optimized to serve as a stunning desk or shelf centerpiece for naval history enthusiasts.

The Real Submarine
The Akula class was the pride of the Soviet/Russian attack submarine fleet. Known for its aggressive lines and the distinctive teardrop-shaped pod on the vertical stabilizer, it remains one of the most visually striking submarines ever built. It was designed for stealth, speed, and immense firepower.

The Model Details
At 1/200 scale, this model strikes the perfect balance between size and detail. It is small enough to fit on a shelf but large enough to showcase the intricate panel lines and sensor arrays that define the Akula's hull.

Static Display Design: This model is hollow but not split into a top and lower halve, so not intended for RC conversion. It is designed for ease of assembly and a high-quality finish.

Scale-Accurate Periscopes: The masts and periscopes are rendered in high detail. For the best result, printing these parts in Resin (SLA) is recommended.

Display Stand Included: The set comes with two elegant, round pedestals (feet) that provide a clean, museum-style presentation.

Optimized Printing: The hull is split into logical sections to ensure high surface quality and minimal support material.
