Nuclear-Powered Fast-Attack Submarine USS Skipjack
The Skipjack-class submarines' design was optimal in their natural environment - underwater - and set the pattern for attack submarines for decades. Highly manoeuvrable, they could reverse direction in only the length of the hull. It would be years before anti-submarine technology caught up with such boats.
Moebius Models has released this important subject in 1/72 scale - which means it's huge! Despite the large box, one doesn't really appreciate the model's size until the hull is assembled.
The fold-out instruction sheet has large assembly diagrams and features a full-colour painting and markings guide. The large decal sheet provides for all six of the Skipjack-class subs
This model is suitable for radio control conversion and details of this can be found below.
