Executive Series SCMCS025 Ohio Class Submarine 1:350 Scale Mahogany Display Model on Stand

Executive Series makes some impressive nautical models; unfortunately, this version of the Ohio Class submarine isn’t one of them. First off, the photos displayed here are very misleading; the one you will receive has no flag, no number on the tower, no decals/or any noticeable definition over the missile tubes; really very little detail at all. It’s solidly built, well painted, but delicate model mounted on a walnut base with brass pedestals. Collectors will want to have a plexiglass cover custom fashioned to protect it. For the price, I clearly expected something better. Nonetheless, it is a better model than the Virginia, hands down. But the USS Los Angeles at 1/192 scale is a much better model, clearly more detailed, and a better value for the collector.

FYI; The top picture is an Executive series sub sold as described.The other two pics are of a different model sub manufacturer, Salecraft. Look close.

High quality in all respects.As Amazon indicates, this is an "Ohio" class boomer. Rather than being a generic model of that class, I would have preferred the sail contain a hull number such as 726 for the Ohio itself.It's too bad that, at least as of this review, there are no more models available.

Excellent packaging - box within box within box. Well made, however, the detailing shown in the photos is not accurate with the model I received. The outline of the hatches is white instead of a gold color. There is no highlighting of the missle doors at all as shown in the photo which makes the top of the model very bland. You can't really tell it's a SSBN. I knew there would not be a number on the sail but there is no US flag as shown in the photo. Either show accurate photos are don't show any photos. I'll keep it because I haven't found anything better.

A great remembrance of my years on the USS Alabama, SSBN731 Gold!
