1/144 Type 33 G SSGN (Trumpeter)
I picked this missile submarine up a while ago when they first came out. Finely I built her and am very glad I did because it has a really unique shape to it. Its the same mold as the type 33 kit with extra runners for the g tower , missiles and missile bays. To do the G version, the Missile area breaks away from the inner crease line of the 33 hull. Trumpy gives you a template to be cut out in cardboard and glued on the hull to floor the missile tubes. Instead of the cardboard I used the template on plastic Styrene, which in turn glued to the plastic hull better and formed a nicer fit. I wish the doors were functional I would love to display her with the doors closed to. Oh well another boat down the long road. Mario
