USS Sealion LPSS-315 in 1/350 scale


Recommended Posts

Finished at last - my conversion of the AFV Club USS Gato into the USS Sealion in her transport role designated LPSS.

I think I've made the raised decking too high. The Marines helicopter is a Shapeways 3D printed S-55......

It hasn't turned out as good as I would have liked - but I'm blaming failing eyesight and fat fingers...:whistle:

The helicopter main rotor blades are scratched, the crew figures are from a Fujimi set.

Not perfect, but something a little different.

 

Build thread is here - and more of my 1:350 scale subs are here.

Geeze, Ken, sounds like you're too hard on yourself - that looks fantastic! I love the addition of the S-55 (or whatever the crazy naval designation was). The weathering - seaing?  I don't do ships - looks superb. Excellent work!
