Mikro Mir MM144-005 Soviet WWII submarine class SHCH series V Scale 1:144 | Unassembled Plastic Display Model

Shch Series V was a group of Soviet medium submarines developed during the interwar period as part of the Shchuka-class program. This plastic model kit in 1/144 scale by Mikro Mir represents one of the early production submarines built for the Soviet Navy during the naval modernization programs of the late 1920s and 1930s.

The Shchuka-class submarines were designed primarily for coastal and regional patrol operations. Boats of the Series V group were constructed before World War II and operated in several Soviet fleets. Their design reflected the transition period of submarine engineering between the First and Second World Wars.

Shch Series V - Soviet Interwar Medium Submarine

Submarines of the Shch Series V were medium-sized patrol submarines intended for operations in enclosed seas and coastal areas. They carried torpedo armament and were used for reconnaissance and defensive patrol duties. The series became one of the important early groups within the broader Shchuka-class development.

For modelers: When assembling submarine models, careful alignment of the hull halves and deck sections helps maintain the smooth hull profile typical of this class. Test fitting the main components before final bonding can help achieve a clean seam along the hull.
