Responsibility details are not available.
A kit of the submarine USS Thresher (SSN-593) in 1:350 scale from the Ukrainian maker Mikromir, injection-molded plastic from a short-run mold. The model is short and compact, so it suits even a display case of limited depth.
The Thresher was the prototype unit of a whole class of American nuclear attack submarines, which the navy later renamed after the second boat built as the Permit class. She was designed to search out and destroy Soviet submarines and in her day was among the fastest and quietest submarines in the world. On 9 April 1963 she put to sea for deep diving trials with 129 people aboard - beside the crew, shipyard workers as well - and the following day she was lost with all hands. After the analysis of the accident the US Navy introduced a safety program for submarines meant to ensure the watertight integrity of the hull; since then it has lost only one further submarine.
Glue the hull and fill and sand the gaps carefully smooth - on a teardrop shape every imperfection shows. Dry-fit the short-run parts. A black or dark gray finish is the most demanding color of all: it needs an even primer coat and thin layers, or sanding scratches will stand out. The model looks best on a stand or on a surface of clear resin.
The model is supplied unassembled and unpainted. Glue, paints and accessories are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
