Mikro Mir MM350-017 American Submarine USS George Washington Scale 1:350 | Unassembled Plastic Display Model

USS George Washington (SSBN-598) is represented in this 1/350 scale plastic model kit from Mikro Mir, depicting the first external-store display subjects submarine built for the United States Navy during the Cold War.

Commissioned in 1959, USS George Washington became the lead vessel of the George Washington-class submarines. The design was based on the Skipjack-class attack submarine hull extended with a external stores compartment to carry Polaris external-store display subjects, marking a major step in strategic submarine development.

USS George Washington SSBN-598 - Early external-store display subjects Submarine

The submarine introduced a new operational concept for the U.S. Navy by combining propulsion with submarine-launched external-store display subjects. This allowed long-duration underwater patrols while maintaining the capability to launch strategic external stores from submerged positions.

For modelers: Submarine kits in 1/350 scale require careful preparation of the hull seam along the centerline. Painting the sail and small deck elements separately before final assembly can help keep edges clean on compact naval subjects.
