The Nautilus Submarine

I enjoyed building this kit very much, the parts fit well with very little trimming required. I also added the photoetch kit from Paragrafix and lite it with L.E.D.s from the same company. All in all I would recommend this kit to anyone interested in building something different from the Disney version of the Nautilus from 20,000 Leagues under the sea by Jules Vern, as this model reminds me of the illustrations from the book.

Very nice quality and detail. This was a fun one. It takes a little bit of effort to get it balanced on the squid. Highly recommend

If your looking for something different to build this is it. The detail of this kit is excellent with little to no trimming necessary. The lines on the submarine are sharp and clean with an exterior that is highly detailed. The main lounge visible from both sides of vessel is also highly detailed down to the numerous books on the book shelves. The giant squid and rock base provided with this kit and used as a mount to display the Nautilus is also highly detailed and could have been sold as a separate kit. The plastic used for the Nautilus seems soft, so care should be used when trimming. A lighting kit or simple LED lights are recommended to view the lounge once the kit has been closed up. Overall this kit is a must no matter what your building preference and at Hobbylincs price, there's room in your building stash for this kit.
