The five units of the Thetis class were originally designed in the early 1960ies as submarine hunters and went through different design stages; the most well-known unit is possibly the "Najade", which had a characteristic superstructure to accomodate an extended hospital section. All units were transferred in the early 1990ies to the Hellenic Navy of Greece, and were kept in service until early this century. 

Technical data of the original:
  length:        70.0 m
  width:          8.2 m

The Model is designed in 1:350 scale. It can be built as a model for static display. The material is rather brittle, and the model is intended for advanced model boat enthusiasts. An assembly manual, a set of drawings and further informations can be found on my website (download section): http://www.microboathobby.com/
