"Riich" brand Los Angeles class SSNs

[Joe Ellias]

I just recieved all three versions of the new company "Riich" LA class SSNs.

These are really well made kits. The detail is excellent. Riich also did a unique mold design in that, although the hull is split horizontally like most sub kits, the split occurrs much higher than mid point, which corresponds to the actual waterline point and where the anti fouling paint is applied. In this way, the model builder does not need to mask, as the entire lower sections can be painted red.

All in all, very nice kits. I hope these guys are successful, and am really looking forward to their 200 scale Gatos.

How is the fitting of the two hulls ?
For Improved LA, the propeller is the correct variant ?

I have not commenced construction, so i cannot comment on the fit.

The propellers are the same on all three kits.
