1/72 scale boat and submarine model kits are designed for larger maritime subjects where size and visual impact are important. This scale is particularly well suited to submarines and smaller boats, allowing hull shapes, surface detail and structural features to be represented clearly.
The increased size of 1/72 scale supports detailed finishing, weathering and display-focused builds, making these kits popular as standalone models or centrepiece projects. Submarines in particular benefit from the scale, with enough space to show external fittings and distinctive hull details.
This category includes 1/72 scale kits covering boats and submarines across a range of eras and roles. If you are looking for other maritime scales, you can also explore 1/35 boats and submarines for even larger detail-focused builds, or 1/350 and 1/700 ship kits for fleet and naval displays. You can also browse the full maritime range by brand.
