US Los Angeles Class Submarine in 1:48 Scale

US Los Angeles Class Submarine in 1:48 Scale

LISTING DETAILS :

The description for this and many other boats in this section are going to suffer from a lack of photos and video as I have a LOT of boats to go through one at a time to document for full listings. 


This boat will be sold in fully tested, ready to run condition. If you are confident in my ability to furnish the boat as described, I urge you to purchase immediatley rather than wait. If you need or want to wait for a full series of photos and operational video, that is your perogative, but if another buyer purchases in advance, you will miss out. 

A quick overview of this boat many others can be found in my weekly update video found here at the 18 minute mark. 

 

SHIPPING TIME and COST: 

 

The final checks with photos and video for the new owner will be processed on a first-come and first-served basis. I will communicate an estimated ship date upon purchase of the boat based on workloads and the evaluation queue ahead of you. 

Shipping is NOT included in the price due to the size of the model. Shipping and crating will be billed separately once we know where we are shipping to. 

DESCRIPTION: 

This is a truly impressive model depicting the USS Cheyenne (SSN-773). At 90" in overall length, it has tremendous presence, however despite it's size, it's still surprisingly light and easy to transport, launch and retrieve. 


The hull is fiberglass with a Very nice upper hull access system allowing full access to the interior very quickly and easily. a giant brass propeller sets off the stern with dihedral stabilizers. 

 

Internal components are housed in a custom 4" watertight cylinder. Ballast is achieved with a low pressure air pump in conjunction with a backup gas sub-system. Also features automatic pitch control.  Included radio is a Hitec 75mhz unit on CH66. This can be upgraded to a TANDEM FrSky transmitter with 6 channel receiver at a cost of $350 (Labor included). This is something I would highly recommend, however it is not necessary. 

 

I have had the opportunity to have this boat out on the water and it is exceptionally easy to operate and performs flawlessly. If you are one to want 'presence' on and under the water, this is the sub for you!

 

It's exceptionally rare to find an RC sub of this scale, so move fast!
