Trumpeter 1/144 HMS Astute

The Trumpeter 1/144 HMS Astute from the plastic submarine model kits range accurately recreates the real life British attack submarines. This plastic model kit requires paint and glue to complete.

The Astute class submarine is the latest submarine in the British Navy, as of 2007. This huge submarine has an appearance similar to a whale, and is nuclear-powered, not requiring a single refuelling over its 25 year lifetime. It is not unique in this regard, though. The Astute class submarine is built by BAE Systems at the city of Barrow-in-Furness, on the central west coast of Britain. The submarines will cost about $2.4 billion US Dollars (USD) each. The Astute class consists of attack submarines, in contrast to ballistic missile submarines such as the Vanguard class.
