ABOUT THE DESIGN |
ABOUT THE KIT |
| As described by Tom Clancy in his Reagan-era best seller, the Red October was a traditional Typhoon-class submarine equipped with a radical magnetic impeller water jet propulsion system that allowed it to travel virtually silently. Such a stealth ability would make such a submarine the ultimate weapon in the event of a nuclear exchange between the world's superpowers. |
In fact, Revell's
"Red October"
was nothing more than a repackaged Typoon-class
submarine kit. They didn't even bother to include the bow and rear vents for
the impeller propulsion system shown in great detail in the
Paramount movie. This model was built from an original issue. |
