USS Daniel Boone
Lafayette Class Nuclear Submarines
|
|
Kit# S124A $60.00 - 16" long. This is a RESIN kit.
The Lafayette-class of boats is very similar
to the later Benjamin Franklin-class of submarines, the main difference
being that the Franklin-class has quieter machinery.
All of these ships
have diesel-electric standby machinery, snorts, and "out-board" auxiliary
propellers for emergency use. These ships have been fazed out with the
expanding
fleet of Ohio-class.
The Yankee Modelworks kit of the USS Daniel
Boone(SSBN-629) is a 60s version of the Lafayette Class Missile Boat.
The kit has a one piece resin hull, white metal and photo-etched parts. A
detailed instruction set and decals are included with the kit.
The kit is a easy build and highly recommended for the experienced resin kit builder.
