JJ2016 Posted November 25, 2023 Share Posted November 25, 2023 (edited) Hobby Boss 1:350 AUKUS Submarines Hi Britmodellers, its been a while !!! Here's the latest project, quick build of the two submarines I've made to show in my office post my new job in the AUKUS world.... In Australia, we'll have forward deployed USN Virginia (s) and RN Astute (s), and then we'll buy some Virginias as the SSN AUKUS is designed and built...... In all of the time I've served and been involved in Defence here in Australia, I've never seen something of this scale.... and I believe we'll pull this one off.... and them some....... Hope you like them.... Cheers JJ Thanks for stopping by..... RFI is here: Cheers JJ Edited November 25, 2023 by JJ2016 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AUKUS is Australia, United Kingdom and United States - trilateral agreement between the 3 countries for Australia to acquire USN nuclear submarines and build future nuclear submarines (including workforce and infrastructure) and second pillar dealing with manufacturing, autonomous tech and other capability enhancements. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chewbacca Posted December 4, 2023 Share Posted December 4, 2023 Great work. I was at the Defence Security and Equipment exhibition in London in 2021 on the day that it was announced that Australia would be pulling out of its previous contract with France and going nuclear in the tri-lat agreement with US and UK. So say that the French suppliers pavilion in the naval area was somewhat subdued would be an understatement! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
