For years, I had a soft spot for Tamiya’s 1/700 waterline ships without ever actually building one. I finally took the plunge with their IJN Fubuki.

Since their debut in the 1970s, Los Angeles-class submarines have been the backbone of the United States Navy's submarine force through the 2010s. They are renowned for their versatility and state-of-the-art technology. In this post, I’ll use HobbyBoss's 1/700 USS Greeneville (SSN-772) to explore their features, historical significance, and uncover their often overlooked scale modeling potential.

Join me as I embark on building a fleet of 1/700 scale ships of the U.S. Navy!
