Saratoga Model Shipyard 1/1250 SMY59 USS Jupiter, AC3, fleet collier, 1914
New for 2013! A limited edition model of the automated collier Jupiter, the first ship to have turbo-electric drive. Designed to accompany a coal-fired navy anywhere around the world. In 1919, she was converted to USS Langley, the first aircraft carrier in the US Navy.
This model is cast by Navis Neptun but the etched brass fittings have been made and fitted by Rodking. Antics has been fortunate to obtain one of these models which are unlikely to be re-issued once the initial orders have been completed.
