Description:
The Russian K-141 Kursk, an Oscar II-Class Submarine (Project 949A), developed by the Soviet Union in the late 1980s, known for their massive size and firepower. Designed primarily to destroy U.S. aircraft carrier groups, these submarines carry P-700 Granit missiles and feature a double-hull design for enhanced survivability.
This 30-inch handcrafted model is carefully built using the traditional plank-on-frame method with top-quality woods such as Red Cedar, Teak, and Mahogany. From the massive double-hull structure to the prominent missile silos, every defining element of this powerful Oscar II-Class submarine is faithfully represented. The build takes approximately 3 to 6 months, depending on complexity and customization.
We keep you informed throughout the production process. You’ll receive photo updates at each key stage:
- Hull construction
- Deck detailing and structures
- Final painting and finishing touches
We’ll make adjustments until you’re completely satisfied with the model After your final approval, the model will be shipped in a made-to-fit wooden crate with protective cushioning to ensure safe delivery worldwide.

History:
The OSCAR II class SSGNs was the second-largest submarines in the world, second only to the U.S. OHIO class SSBN/SSGNs. SSGN Oscar II class cruise-missile submarines (Project 949A/Antey class) are designed primarily to attack NATO aircraft carriers, battle groups. To cope with its resource problems, the Russian Navy, in the early 1990s, made an effort at preserving its core submarine force capabilities. The Russian Navy continued to invest in new construction. In the late 1990s, it completed several new submarines of the third generation Oscar II. 11 of the larger Oscar II submarines were built between 1985 and 1999 at the Sevmash yard in Severodvinsk. Three have been decommissioned and one, the Kursk, sank. Two Oscar II submarines are active with the Northern Fleet and five with the Pacific Fleet. The Pacific Fleet is set to upgrade four Oscar II submarines with 3M-54 Kalibr family of cruise missiles by 2021 as part of a multi-year program. The submarines can also be fitted with other cruise missiles, including 3M-54 anti-ship, 3M-14 land-attack missiles, and PT91 anti-submarine warfare (ASW) torpedoes. The upgraded submarines will be designated Project 949AM. Eleven Project 949A Antey submarines were completed at Severodvinsk, of which five were assigned to the Soviet Northern Fleet. At one stage it had been planned to develop a new fourth-generation follow-on to Project 949A, but this plan was later dropped. The external differences between the two classes were that the 949A class is about 10 meters (33 ft) longer than its predecessor (approximately 154 meters, 505 ft rather than 143 m, 469 ft), providing space and buoyancy for improved electronics and quieter propulsion. Some sources speculate that the acoustic performance of the Oscar II class is superior to the early Akula class but inferior to the Akula II class as well as subsequent (4th generation) designs. It also has a larger fin, and its propellers have seven blades instead of four. Like all post-World War II Soviet designs, they are of double hull construction. Similarly, like other Soviet submarine designs, Project 949 not only has a bridge open to the elements on top of the sail but, for use in inclement weather, there is an enclosed bridge forward and slightly below this station. A distinguishing mark is a slight bulge at the top of the fin. A large door on either side of the fin reaches this bulge. These are wider at the top than on the bottom and are hinged on the bottom. The Federation of American Scientists reports that this submarine carries an emergency crew escape capsule; it is possible that these doors cover it. The VSK escape capsule can accommodate 110 people
