Submarine Models are a great past time to build. Most of them can be simple, though the larger kits will need a lot of room to display.

These kits range from the TV submarine models like the Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea Seaview, or the Jules Verne Nautilus, to more conventional modern nuclear submarines of today.

But many other countries have submarines, so there are model kits of subs from China, Russia, and Germany in WWII.

All these kits are a bit different, but allow you to build a whole fleet of interesting submarine models for your collection.

Lately, deep sea exploration sub models have been produced, and these bring some educational value to model building. They also have colorful paint schemes for high visibility.
