Zvezda 9025 K-19 Soviet Nuclear Submarine (1/350) – plastic scale model submarine kit

The Zvezda 9025 K-19 Soviet Nuclear Submarine model in 1:350 scale is a precise replica of one of the most famous Soviet nuclear-powered submarines, designated K-19. Almost every naval history and scale modeling enthusiast is familiar with the dramatic and turbulent story of this vessel, which entered service in the early 1960s at the height of the Cold War. K-19 belonged to Project 658 (NATO code: Hotel class) and was the first Soviet submarine equipped with nuclear-tipped ballistic missiles, making it one of the most technologically advanced and strategically important submarines of its era.

K-19 was commissioned into the Soviet Navy in 1961. It served until the 1990s, taking part in numerous strategic patrols and operations, as a component of the Soviet nuclear deterrence program during the Cold War. The submarine made history not only as an innovative construction, but also due to tragic accidents at sea, earning it the reputation of the "unlucky submarine".

This plastic assembly kit by Zvezda faithfully reproduces the hull and superstructure details, allowing for a highly realistic appearance of the vessel. The kit is made from high-quality plastic, which is easy to process and paint. The model does not include any additional elements such as metal barrels or resin parts, but provides a complete set of plastic components to build a full miniature K-19. The kit does not include glue or paints – these must be purchased separately.
