Our 1/350th enhanced scale model of the USS Alabama 731, a US Navy Trident II Nuclear Submarine, represents the finest in master craftsmanship. Built by Master Ship Model Builders with more than 35 years individual experience.

This is an Ohio class nuclear powered ballistic missile submarine, the Navy's largest and quietest submarine that can submerge up to nearly 1,000 feet. It is the most powerful and destructive weapon ever invented by man.

The Ohio is an extremely potent fighting machine. She has 24 vertical launch tubes for ballistic missiles arranged in two rows behind the sail. The USS Alabama has a range of nearly 7,000 miles and can carry up to 14 MIRV warheads.

As is suiting of a ship with such national historical significance, our realistic Trident Submarine models are not to be compared with the machine made import versions. We build each one by hand in the USA using only professional grade materials.

Configured in the "Hangman's Knot" with 13 missile doors open and one empty silo representing the 13 original colonies and number of knots on a hangman's noose. Considered the only configuration before total release.

Enhanced with exterior detailing including air brushed highlights including water reflections and weathering. Enhanced open torpedo bay doors and accurate missile hatches. We use brass propellers, drive shafts and brass or stainless pedestals.

Great topside details are shown here on our 1/200th scale USS Alabama model with all but one hatch closed.

Each model is mounted on a natural wood base. Our standard base is made of Red Oak and finished in numerous coats of hand rubbed fine Danish oils.

A protective flame polished clear acrylic cover and custom engraved brass nameplate are included for a top quality professional finish. This is an example of a stained cherry base finished in numerous coats of Polycrylic for a durable high gloss finish.

From the bow flies a bright red "Don't Tread On Me" rattlesnake flag, flown only during war times. Old Glory proudly displays her colors flying from the USS Alabama's stern.

Originally commissioned by a submariner with first hand experience serving aboard this great vessel based at Bangor, our details are exacting. An ideal work of art for any Navy submarine or military models enthusiast.
