1/400 CSS Bonefish and CSS Whelk (Maquette Kitbash)
The CSS Bonefish and CSS Whelk are two fictional Confederate submarines from the Harry Turtledove alternate history novels about the great war in Timeline-191 that were made from the Maquette Kits of the D-6 and L-4 Russian submarines with any parts that could be swopped being exchanged and ensuring their originality. The two kits are great fun to build and highly recommendable.
The CSS Bonefish was a Confederate States submersible during the Great War, commanded by Roger Kimball. Under Kimball's command, the Bonefish achieved several notable feats, including daring raids up the Chesapeake Bay and into New York Harbor. However, 1917, the Bonefish achieved infamy when Kimball ordered the torpedoing the USS Ericsson after the war had ended.
CSS Whelk - Confederate submarine, former assignment of Junior Lieutenant Ralph Briggs, if you want to learn more about these ships of fiction, read the Turtledove novels.
