USS Thresher (SSN-593) is a plastic model kit in 1/144 scale from Modelsvit representing the United States Navy attack submarine of the early Cold War period.

USS Thresher SSN-593 - Early Cold War Submarine

The Thresher-class submarines were designed for deep-diving capability and improved acoustic performance. USS Thresher became historically notable due to its loss during sea trials in 1963, which led to significant changes in submarine safety standards and procedures.

For modelers: Submarine models benefit from careful alignment of the hull halves and smooth surface finishing before painting to achieve a clean, continuous hull appearance.
