Flankerman Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 Another excellent 1/350 scale submarine from Micro-Mir - the first Polaris ballistic missile submarine, USS George Washington SSBN 598. Box art...... Instruction sheet.... Assembly diagram and parts layout.... Decals sheet and etched brass - note that decals are supplied for all 5 of the class - 598 G. Washington, 599 Patrick Henry, 600 T. Roosevelt, 601 Robert E. Lee and 602 Abraham Lincoln. Two types of etched propeller are also supplied - early and late..... I only have a plastic test shot so far...... (thanks Sergey) The George Washington was made using a lengthened Skipjack hull to accomodate the 16 Polaris missiles - here's the missile decking being test-fitted..... .... and a comparison with Micro-Mir's own Skipjack kit........ I only have the plastic parts - so I downloaded the box art and other images from Micro-Mir's website. That didn't stop me starting the model though.........and it is now ready for painting.... More to come..... This is a very welcome addition of a historic submarine to the collection - kudos to Micro Mir for producing it... Ken 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
