This review is from: Revell 1:180 Uss Lionfish Submarine (Toy)
Iam an 81 year old retired submarine veteran. Putting these models together has brought back fond memories of a 20 year career on submarines. I would recommend your models above others.

This review is from: Revell 1:180 Uss Lionfish Submarine (Toy)
This is a basic plastic model, with 40 pieces of 30 distinct types. Assembly is straightforward. 1:180 scale is fairly large, so even inexperienced model builders can still easily handle all the pieces. Fit and finish is not the best but still acceptable at this price. My seven-year-old and I had an enjoyable afternoon working on it together.
USS Lionfish is now a museum ship in Massachusetts. We plan to visit it someday. The biggest downside is its fragility. Young boys may treat it like just another toy and subject it to too great a force. Most broken pieces can be put back with crazy-glue, but the movable parts present real challenges. I had the hardest time with the dive-plane, which came with a shaft that was 1mm too short to begin with. The dive-plane rubs against the hull, making it both easy to break and hard to fix.

This review is from: Revell 1:180 Uss Lionfish Submarine (Toy)
This model kit was fun and fairly easy to build... a little lite on detail, but if you really wanted to spiff it up, you can get some aftermarket detail kits!
Everything fit together well with the one exception I had noted others having... the front dive plains are a bit of a tight fit... solved this by cutting a piece of the parts tree down as a spacer, and glued it in place inside to narrow the mounting point just a little! was an easy fix... just made the cross-beam slightly smaller, then glue'd it to one side just behind where dive plain peg fits... waited 24hrs, glued other side of peg in place, rapped some tape around that point on the hull to hold it narrowed and after dried... All fits well!!! Over all, a fun, nice looking model! with nice molded details, simple to build for any modeler with even moderate experience!
