USS Nautilus Submarine Model Kit

FX Models was contracted to create models for special donors to the Submarine Force Library and Museum in New London Connecticut. The Nautilus depicted below shows her before she was painted all black. The model carries an immense amount of detailing, all laser engraved on all sides of the original master pattern. Accuracy was ensured by creating a complete bow to stern photo-series of the actual boat at the Submarine Force Museum and Historic Ship NAUTILUS .
Each finished model of USS NAUTILUS should be painted in the ruddy anti-foul and gray to museum quality standards and detail is accentuated with a final rubbing out of the paint finish to give the boat a true metallic look in those areas that are metallic. The twin propellers are brass colored cast metal. The wooden deck areas are de-accentuated properly. This model of the United States’ first Nuclear Submarine is a sight to behold.
