SS United States Ocean Liner Cruise Ship Model 1:400 Scale

Description

America's flagship, SS United States, was an ocean going symbol of our nation's might.  Concieved by famed American naval architect William Francis Gibbs,  she is not only the largest ocean liner ever constructed in the United States, but the world's fastest,  stealing the record from Britain's Queen Mary. A record she still holds to this day.
She was a technological marvel, built to be entirely fireproof, and designed to be transformed into a troop transport in the event of war, Luckily this need never arise in her career. While most of the great ocean liners have been lost to history,  the SS United States remains. Quietly docked on quayside in Philadelphia, she faces an uncertain future, and perhaps a new life.
Built as a tribute to America's flagship, the great ship comes to life in this beautiful one of a kind model.  Measuring 30 inches, she sails atop a detachable 36 inch custom made seascape base. This is an absolutely one of a kind model handcrafted by an artist, not from a kit, factory, or 3D printer.
Includes such details as hand scribed hull plating,  individually crafted lifeboats,  iconic ship's funnels, and many other details found on the real ship. LED lighting with USB power source. Made in Long Beach, California, constructed  with styrene, wood, card, resin, and various other materials.
