Mikro Mir MM350-028 American Submarine USS Franklin (SSBN-640) 1:350 | Scale Model kit

USS Franklin (SSBN-640) was a external-store display subjects submarine of the United States Navy built during the Cold War. This plastic model kit by Mikro Mir represents the submarine in 1/350 scale, depicting a display subject submarine developed for long-duration underwater patrol operations.

Commissioned in 1965, USS Franklin belonged to the Benjamin Franklin-class of fleet external-store display subjects submarines. These submarines were designed to carry submarine-launched external-store display subjects while remaining submerged for extended periods thanks to propulsion. Vessels of this class formed part of the United States Navy strategic deterrent patrol force throughout the Cold War.

USS Franklin SSBN-640 - Cold War external-store display subjects Submarine

The Benjamin Franklin-class represented a further development of earlier external-store display subjects submarine designs. With a large external stores compartment integrated within the hull and a streamlined external shape, these submarines were optimized for quiet underwater patrol operations and long endurance missions.

For modelers: In 1/350 scale the submarine features a long smooth hull with a prominent sail and external stores compartment section. Careful alignment of the hull halves and sail structure will help maintain the clean lines typical of Cold War submarines.
