USS Norton Sound seaplane tender 1:2400 WW2

USS Norton Sound (AV-11) is an american Currituck class seaplane tender launched in 1943 and commissioned in January 1945. This model represents her as built. She served postwar and was refitted and reclassified as AVM-1 in August 1951. She was finally disposed of in 1988 after being struck off the naval register in 1987.

Simple one piece model design for smaller scales and tweaked to ensure as compliant as possible with Shapeways across a range of materials and the perfect base on which modellers can add the fine detail flourishes to, depending on your skill level. The model has ‘floored guns’ for the best durability to reduce breakages, and be printable in the material offered. Designed by Philip Warnes and can be used at a larger hex scale with his SeaLion Supremacy game, or any other naval tabletop game that uses this scale.

If you have family that served on this vessel, why not order a metal miniature to keep as a small family keepsake or gift for someone else whose family served onboard. Or maybe you had family who worked at the yards that built this vessel. Keep your family military history alive.
