COBI Historical Collection World War II USS TANG (SS-306) Submarine 1:144 Scale

The USS TANG is an American Balao-class submarine from the Second World War. The ship's armament included 24 torpedoes, an anti-aircraft gun and two machine guns. The maximum tested operational depth was 180 meters. It was launched on August 17, 1943. On October 24, 1944, the Tang was sunk during its fifth patrol. The sole commander of the unit was Richard O'Kane, who, along with eight sailors, survived the ship's catastrophe and remained in Japanese captivity until the end of the war. Statistics indicate that the USS TANG was the most successful submarine in the Pacific. It sunk between 24 and 31 enemy vessels. The model of the famous submarine was entirely designed with Polish COBI construction blocks in a sensational model scale of 1:144! The set consists of 777 elements and includes an accessory in the form of a detachable side plating of the hull, under which there is a block-built model of the engine.
