Product Description:

Build a detailed scale replica of the USS Tuscumbia, an American Civil War river ironclad, with this 1:200 scale card model kit from Orel (No. 382).

USS Tuscumbia was a Union Navy river ironclad built for operations on the inland waterways during the American Civil War. Commissioned at Cairo, Illinois, in March 1863, she soon entered active service on the Mississippi, Tennessee and Yazoo rivers.

Tuscumbia participated in operations during the Vicksburg Campaign, where Union river gunboats and ironclads played an important role in supporting military operations and controlling the Mississippi River. Following damage and mechanical problems, the vessel underwent repairs and periods out of active service before returning to patrol duties between Cairo and the upper Tennessee River. USS Tuscumbia was finally decommissioned in February 1865.

Orel's model recreates this unusual Civil War river warship in 1:200 scale. Despite its relatively compact size, the kit offers a high level of detail and consists of 10 A4 sheets.

With its distinctive armoured appearance and unusual river-warship design, USS Tuscumbia makes an interesting addition to any collection of American Civil War ships, Union Navy vessels or historic naval models.

Due to the detailed construction and numerous smaller components, this kit is recommended for experienced card model builders.
