Ohio class polystyrene model?
Posted by radcontech on Tuesday, May 15, 2012 9:41 PM

I've been looking around for a nice model of the ohio class submarine in polystyrene. I have found a couple in the 1/350 scale but I would like to find a larger one than that, maybe 1/192 scale. Basically I have a friend who was on the Nebraska and I woul dlike to make one for him that he could put on his mantle. Thanks!

Sorry but as far as I know there is no 1/192 or 1/200 scale Ohio class boomers on the market. Boomers are large boats and I think in 1/200 scale your friend would need a bigger mantle. So just go with the 1/350 scale Dragon/CyberHobby Ohio class boats they actually fit on a mantle.

On the workbench: Dragon 1/350 scale Ticonderoga class USS BunkerHill 1/720 scale Italeri USS Harry S. Truman 1/72 scale Encore Yak-6

Not in polystyrene, but there is in resin and for Radio controlled... in fiberglass perhaps. The larger scales you desire are way too new in polystyrene for there to be much.

Don Pruel/JD Productions offers a 1:192 scale resin Ohio

http://jdproduct.com/kits/index.htm

At $250 is isn't cheap,  but it is also realistically priced based on the amount of resin which goes into a baseball-bat sized model.

Don is an excellent master model maker.   He did the USS Arizona which is at the Pearl Harbor visitors center
