Nikonov Submarine Wooden Ship Model Kit – World's First Submarine
A wooden model kit of the Nikonov Submarine — the world's first submarine, a barrel-shaped marvel of 18th-century Russian ingenuity, built by your own hands from linden and cherry wood.
This kit recreates that legendary vessel in meticulous detail: the curved barrel hull built from individually planked linden wood staves, the iron-effect banding, the deck hatch and conning structure, the anchor rigging, and the wooden cradle stand — all assembled by your own hands from precision laser-cut parts.
🔧 This is a model kit — assembly, painting, and rigging required. Tools, adhesives, and paints are not included and must be sourced separately. The finished appearance shown in the images reflects one artisan's interpretation; your completed model will vary depending on the paints, stains, and techniques you choose. Customise the colours and finish to make it your own.
⚠️ Skill level: Intermediate. Results will vary based on skill, tools, and finishing choices. Please review the instruction manual before beginning assembly.
