Deep Sea Research Vessel
former WWII Minesweeper 1/125 Scale
|
|
T141 - $39.95 - 139 parts very nice detail.
From the North Pole to the South, from the
shallows to the deeps, exploration vessels undertake a variety of ocean
exploration assignments,
acting as floating science laboratories. Originally this 42 m long ship was
an American mine-sweeper that was launched in 1942.
The US Navy made her available to Great Britain who used her in the
Mediterranean in World War II.
After the war the ship remained in the
Mediterranean and was converted into a ferry, until she was taken over by an
oceanographer in 1950.
This oceanographer fundamentally redesigned the vessel and installed
specific exploration equipment aboard for research purposes.
Like the ship, the model has hydrojet- propelled submarines, an additional
rubber dinghy and a Hughes 300C helicopter.
The helicopter lands on a pad installed aft. The two-part hull of the model
is a true-to-original structural reproduction
with striking observation portholes in the bow. Two diver figures and two
sharks are also included.
