Hobby Boss 1/700 SSN-688 USS Los Angelos

[ESzczesniak]

This is a small quick build of the Hobby Boss 1/700 Los Angeles SSN sub. The kit itself is nice EXCEPT they have the tail planes completely wrong. They seem to have been taken from a Sturgeon class sub. I reshaped these to something near accurate.

Eventually this is going to be part of an �epoxy� diorama in the arctic. I already tried once with ok results, but didn�t have a way of degassing the epoxy before pouring and have way too many air bubbles to be happy with. Given it�s planned final result, I tried to weather it to realistically be deployed at sea.







Any comments or criticism are welcome as always and thanks for looking.

Nice looking sub. Well done.

Looks like you got some nice weathering on the hull. Tough to do with that rubber black hull.
