Note that prior to shipping, we take a series of photos of the model and send them to you for final review and approval – so you know exactly what your model will look like and allow for any necessary modifications. The normal procedure is a 50% deposit with the commissioning, with the balance due prior to shipping. The model build time is generally 16 weeks from receipt of the order and deposit. Options include keel block mounting, waterline models, nameplates, ships seals and ribbons, and weathering paint schemes. Every model includes pedestals, mounted on a polished mahogany base board. Other parts are made from a variety of woods, putty, resin and metals. Each model is exquisitely crafted by our master model builders and comes fully assembled with a solid hull - hand carved from kiln-dried mahogany. Only when a customer tells us the size and/or scale desired do we build the model. Our submarine models are made-to-order, meaning that we do not stock any pre-made models. However, if you would like your model made in a size other than those sizes listed, please contact us with your request.

The Russian Navy canceled its Typhoon modernization program in March 2012, stating that modernizing one Typhoon would be as expensive as building two new Borei-class submarines. The source of the NATO reporting name remains unclear, although it is often claimed to be related to the use of the word "typhoon" ("тайфун") by Leonid Brezhnev in a 1974 speech while describing a new type of nuclear ballistic missile submarine, as a reaction to the US Navy Ohio-class submarines.
With a submerged displacement of 48,000 tons, the Typhoons are the largest class of submarine ever built, large enough to accommodate decent living facilities for the crew when submerged for months on end. The Project 941 or Akula, Russian "Акула" ("Shark") class submarine (NATO reporting name: Typhoon) is a type of nuclear-powered ballistic missile submarine deployed by the Soviet Navy in the 1980s.
