There have been submarine plastic models already since naval modeling was invented, though 1/144 isn't a common scale for subs since many of them would end up as big as the one you see here.
And yeah, Trumpeter's Seawolf has been available in many hobby shops already since its release back in November 2004.

So far, there have been a bevy of submarine kits already from so many manufacturers (Dragon, Revell, Tamiya, etc.) - I also have the Alfa, Los Angeles, and Ohio class subs in 1/350 from Dragon Models still unbuilt in my closet.
Plus completed 1/700 models of the SSN-21 Seawolf and SSN-23 Jimmy Carter still in their boxes.

Hehehe, well until now I've only seen some 1:700 warships from Academy since Dragon and Trumpeter products are kinda difficult to be found here :/ The only way is probably to purchase them online

Man, even if the sub plastic kit exist here, must be some really rare items Btw, you gotta finish those models!

No kidding - even up until now, I'm still looking for a second 1/350 Los Angeles-class (which I'll build into a 688i) and a 1/350 Seawolf myself! D8

1/350 scale is huge! But actually, if you're interested they're some free battleship paper models with huge scales in the internet Although it's difficult to build one x_x

Yep, all of them, except for the RX-78-2 Gundam and the RX-0 Unicorn Gundam, which were presents from my older bro.

I soooo love that website. I'd really wish Jeff would more often make it up-to-date (as in add Avatar, ST '09, among many others to the scale charts), though. D:

The F-15 was actually originally developed as a countermeasure to Soviet interceptors such as the MiG-25, hence the similarities in basic fuselage design.
And yep, the Soviets and US were actually copying each others' designs/concepts/etc., one way or another during the Cold War (the Buran space shuttle and the Tu-160 Blackjack were prime examples).

Just as the F-15 was created in response to the MiG-25, the Tu-160 was created in response to the B-1.
With the cancellation of the B-1A, the Tu-160 went into service first - sometime before the B-1A was brought back as the reworked B-1B.

Nope, but it comes with a same-scale VF-17 in Battroid mode.
Both modes can be built as either the D or S versions.

Here's the whole product in detail: [link]
