1/72 scale USS Skipjack (WOW!)
You read it right, a whopping 1/72 scale nuclear sub model.
To be released soon by Moebius Models... Last edited by Bill Nichols; 01-04-12 at 08:56 AM. |

A 1/72 scale fleet sub is already pretty big... This must be huge! Any idea on the length?

42 inches long, 5 1/4 inch beam, and about 7 inches from the top of the fairwater to the bottom of the lower rudder.

Ooh! Ohh! Me want! Probably could never afford it, though.
I just noticed the Seaview model underneath Skipjack. Pretty big in its own right.

Is that a line of sacrificial anodes I'm seeing underneath the rudder?

Yes, it is. I spent many an hour crawling through Nautilus's superstructure inspecting her 'zincs'. And, you are a geek.
