1/350 ARA Santa Fe S-1 (Scratchbuilt)
The model represents the submarine ARA Santa Fe (S-1), which together
with ARA Santiago del Estero (S-2) and ARA Salta (S-3) formed the first
class of submarines of the Argentine Navy between 1933 and 1960. These
ships were built in the shipyards of the city of Taranto, Italy, and from
there comes its name as "Tarantinos" which were in fact a variant of the
Italian Cavallini class. The model was made with plasticard sheets and
some parts from other kits, like the main deck gun and photo-etched railings.
