I
like the TV show, and this kit was not bad, though simple
in detail. The hardest part is getting the rear fins to
stay where you want once glued.
It
comes with a base, and a tiny work sub.
It
is painted with a Testors light gray, with a pattern painted
on it.
If
you are wondering how I did the pattern, I took a piece
of cardboard, folded it over, and used a hole punch to make
a random design. I then unfolded it, and used that as a
template to spray paint over and on to the model. Simple,
but effective.
Seaquest
DSV - By the mid-21st Century, humankind has colonized
the oceans and formed the UEO--the United Earth Oceans--as
a military organization to police it. Formerly a high-ranking
member of the UEO, Nathan Bridger retired after the death
of his wife, and retreated to an isolated island to study
dolphins. An attempt is made to hijack the Seaquest DSV, the
UEO's most powerful undersea vessel, and Nathan--its original
designer--is convinced to return to active service, to assume
command of it. His second in command is Cmdr. Jonathan Ford.
In second season, the DSV added Dagwood, a prototype GELF
(Genetically Engineered Life Form), Tony Piccolo, a man with
surgically implanted gills, and Dr. Wendy Smith, a telepathy/empathy,
to its crew of specialists.
