The Nautilus Drydocks is proud to announce the release of our new 1:48 scale Seaview Model kit from Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea.
According to Seaview lore, the submarine is a privately owned twin-turbine nuclear submarine that appeared in Irwin Allen's 1961 Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea movie, and later the television series of the same name. The Seaview was prefixed ' USOS ' in the motion picture. In the later television series, it was prefixed ' SSRN ', for ' Survey Submarine Research Nuclear '.

This model kit is built to order. Please allow 8 to 12 weeks for fabrication and shipping (weather dependent).
Due to the extremely large size of this model, it will ship in a custom wooden shipping crate. Shipping costs are NOT included in the price and will be calculated once you identify whether you want the one-piece or two piece hull (which shortens the shipping crate size) and where you are located in the world.
