1/74 C-582-200 ITC US Navy WWI Submarine Chaser (Sub Chaser) - ex-ITC VG Injection Molded old The US Navy WWI Submarine chaser was a 110 foot wooden vessel. The ships carried a crew of 25 and were armed with a 3 lb deck gun and a "Y" gun for discharging depth charges. The ships proved valuable in combating the German U-boats in the Atlantic and Mediterranean. Some were updated and saw service in WWII. This is the large and well detailed ex-ITC kit. When ITC discontinued plastic kit production, 'Ringo' was the name give to the 'clearing house' company that cleaned out the ITC warehouse of left over stock. Ringo kits normally did not come with decals or flag sheets - this kit is no exception. The kit has not been started. Missing one part: small vent. This part is easily made from round plastic stock bent like an inverted 'J'. Complete with all other parts and instructions. Some hull stanchions are broken, which is typical of all the ITC and Ringo subchasers, but they are included. $65.00 |
