Description: CSS Hunley Confederate Submarine
Fully Updated Cutaway Edition
Larger 1/24 scale resin model kit based upon archeological measurements of actual recently excavated submarine. Measures approximately 33" long!
The kit features resin, cast white metal, wood, and brass parts. The interior is fully detailed and updated to reflect the latest information about the Hunley. The instructions are over 30 pages long with over 70 detailed illustrations and include many technical facts and opinions based on research to aid in the construction of this model.
On the night of February 17th, 1864, the Confederate submarine HL Hunley attacked and sank the Union sloop-of-war USS Housatonic and became the first submarine in history to sink an enemy war ship in combat. The Hunley disappeared after signaling her success to Confederate positions on Sullivan's Island, South Carolina. Her secrets remained lost until 1995 when her wreck was discovered, and later raised for study and preservation by the "Friends of the Hunley".
