Description: This is the Moebius 1/128th scale, 8 window, Seaview submarine from Irwin Allen’s 1961 movie “Voyage To The Bottom Of The Sea”. This configuration of the Seaview can also be seen in season one of the 1964 -1968 TV series “Voyage To The Bottom Of The Sea”. Professionally constructed and finished, this stunning model shows absolutely meticulous craftsmanship and attention to every detail. The Seaview is finished in Intermediate Blue on the upper hull, and Camouflage Gray enamel on the underside. The forward observation room has been detailed with Paragrafix brand decals as well as both lacquer and enamel paints. A total of 11 - 9 Volt, 100K hour rated LEDs were used to supply all the sub’s lighting effects. This model can be displayed with or without the Polaris missile being fired. You can turn off the LED that lights the missile plume with a micro switch hidden inside the diving bell bay area. Then you simply place the missile hatch cover over the missile opening. My scratch built diving bell bay features detailed girders on the inside, and contains 2 UV (purple) LEDs, which serve to illuminate the fluorescent paint that has been applied to the searchlights and viewport windows on the diving bell. This makes it appear that the Diving Bell’s lights are “on” as it descends from the sub’s bay. The bay doors are designed to be left open or can be easily removed as they are held in position by magnetic strips. This also makes for easy access to the missile “on/off” switch, which is located on the forward bulkhead panel. The Seaview rests on a beautifully designed custom display base which measures 22 1/2” L x 6 1/2” W x 1 ½” H and features a laser etched nameplate which reads “THE N. I. M. R. / S.S.R.N. SEAVIEW”. This display base was designed to allow the Seaview to be displayed pointing to the left or to the right. Clear acrylic uprights raise the model 6”, which allows for displaying the placard and for viewing the Diving Bell. This listing consists of the following items: One museum quality 8 window Seaview submarine model with complete LED lighting effects, a custom designed gloss black acrylic and metallic vinyl display base, featuring two clear acrylic supports and a convenient “on/off” switch, the NIMR Seaview placard, a 9 volt 1 amp DC converter, the power feed “umbilical” connection (with diving bell) that plugs into the custom built bay and the Mini Sub (neither of which were included in this kit). Please Note: I'm offering free shipping until Thanksgiving Day (November 28). Sorry, but there is absolutely no shipping outside of the contiguous U.S. on this listing. Please feel free to ask any questions you may have about this Seaview model before purchasing. Thank you.
