USS Dolphin AGSS-555

1/72 Scale USS Dolphin Submarine Model

The AGSS-555 Dolphin is an impressive submarine. This submarine has been used since its launch as a test platform for most of the currently used technologies that have propelled the United States to the forefront of Naval Superiority. This,the deepest diving diesel submarine, provided a wealth of information to developers of technologies that allowed its eventual integration into our active duty fleets. Fxmodels is proud to offer the most detailed, highest quality USS Dolphin available in the world.

This is the larger of our two USS Dolphins. At 28″ long, it is a result of a very detailed survey of the actual submarine. We were contracted by the Navy to create a highly accurate set of models in two scales. We visited Dolphin in drydock to take  pictures. We were also provided many additional photos and plans of the boat. The result of this effort was the highest detailed  AGSS-555 model kit. Right down to the actual rivet patterns and rivet counts. As with our other models, the FX Models USS Dolphin exemplifies the look and feel of the real boat. Now that she has been decommissioned, our Dolphin model is to be used in the US Government archives as the representative model of the boat. The smaller model (1/192 scale) carries nearly the same level of detail as the larger.

1/192 USS Dolphin Submarine Model

Here are some photos of our smallest USS Dolphin submarine that we offer. Don’t let it’s size fool you, this model is nearly as detailed as its larger 1/72 scale counterpart that we offer. We spent two days with the full size sub in drydock and photographed the boat bow to stern. Every rivet and every zinc is reproduced accurately and completely.
