1/74 3803-198 ITC US Navy WWI Submarine Chaser (Sub Chaser)
Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: Good
Rare kit. 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. The kit is molded in correct light blue and silver. NOTE: this kit is a builder kit and not a collectors kit. The model has not been started but is missing the following parts: on large deck vent, rear flat deck house top and two flat sides. The deck sides and roof could be easily made, the vent will need to come from a spares box or metal ship fittings provider. One prop has two blades broken off and missing. Otherwise, the rest of the kit is inventoried complete. Includes flag sheet, decals and instructions.
