USS Parche SSN-683 1/350 scale conversion


Recommended Posts

Gentlemen...... I present to you... the USS Parche, SSN-683 - said to be the most decorated vessel in US History.

 

Parche was a 'Special Ops' boat - using a Sturgeon class hull lengthened by 100ft to accomodate the extra crew and equipment for covert ops.

 

The model is made using two Mikro-Mir Sturgeon hull cut and joined together to get the new length.

 

The raised deck forward of the sail is scratched from palstic card - as is the rear sonar dome.

 

The WIP thread is here.

Another one to add to my growing collection of 1/350 scale subs - and another Special Operations boat.
