Type 096 Nuclear Submarine (Qiji 25012-3)

About this set

This is the KEEPPLEY 25012-3 Type 096 nuclear submarine from the Peace Heavy Armament series, listed at 399 pieces on the box with a difficulty of 2/5, so it is a low-barrier military build. The finished model uses black as the main color with red accents, and it recreates the submarine hull, conning tower, periscope, propeller, missiles and torpedoes. The look leans toward a heavy, realistic silhouette rather than a cartoonish toy. When building, press the long hull sections together in stages and check that the body line is straight before adding the conning tower and periscope; the propeller, missiles and torpedoes are small add-on parts best left until the end so you do not knock them off mid-build. With modest part count and low difficulty, it suits newcomers to the brick hobby, submarine fans, or anyone after a desktop-sized display piece.
