Description

Under the 1950 Sino-Soviet Friendship and Mutual Assistance Treaty, the Soviets passed toChina (and later toNorth Korea) the documentation necessary to produce ROMEO submarines in 1963. The Chinese variant is known as the Type 033 ROMEO. A total of 84 Type 033 submarines were built inChinafrom 1962 to 1984, plus several exported to other countries.

...... ..The SH-5 (Shuishang Hongzha-5, or ShuiHong-5) is the amphibious aircraft developed by Harbin Aircraft Manufacturing Corporation (HAMC) in the 1980s. As its designation implies, the aircraft was originally intended for anti-surface and anti-submarine warfare, but lack of suitable weapons resulted in only four examples being built for maritime patrol and surveillance role.

1/350 PLAN Type 033 Submarine & SH-5 Plastic Model Kit by HobbyBoss delivers dual-subject variety and detailed surface work for naval and aviation modellers alike.

Under agreements with the Soviet Union in the 1950s and 1960s, China acquired plans and started producing its own versions of the Romeo diesel/electric submarine; over 80 were built between 1962-1984. :contentReference[oaicite:15]{index=15} The SH-5 amphibious patrol aircraft (Harbin SH-5) adds flavour and variety; designed for anti-submarine patrols, rescue and maritime surveillance, only a few were produced. Including both subjects in one kit gives modellers a chance to produce a small naval display with two types of maritime hardware. The ship modelling world often lacks good kits of this type, so this one fills a niche. :contentReference[oaicite:16]{index=16} How to use it Build using plastic modelling glue, cutters or sprue-cutters, hobby knife, file or sanding paper for clean jo
