Astute Class Nuclear Submarine 1m model 3D print model

Dive into the depths of modern naval engineering with this highly detailed 3D printable model of the Royal Navy's Astute-class nuclear-powered attack submarine. Representing the pinnacle of stealth and technology in the UK's fleet, this impressive replica assembles to a full 1 meter (100 cm) in length, making it a standout display centerpiece or the ultimate project for serious scale modelers and military enthusiasts. Meticulously researched and modeled from publicly available references, it captures the sleek hydrodynamic hull, distinctive sail, advanced sonar arrays, and signature X-shaped stern planes that make the Astute class one of the quietest and most capable submarines in service today.

Designed specifically with 3D printing in mind, the kit includes 36 carefully separated STL files that break the model into printer-friendly sections—no massive overhangs or impossible supports required. Whether you're running a standard 220–250 mm bed FDM printer or a larger resin setup, the smart part layout ensures clean, hassle-free prints with minimal post-processing. Glue the sections together, add your choice of paint and decals, and you'll have a museum-quality 1/97-scale Astute ready for your shelf, war gaming table, or as the crown jewel of your naval collection.
