This model is built near to scale at 377 feet long and a beam of 34 feet. The model has animatable periscopes and propeller inside the duct. The model also has animatable missile launch hatches on the bow for the two MLS systems. The hatch can be opened revealing the multi-tube (6 tube) launch system. In addition the model also includes the additional 4 MLS launch systems on the boat about half way back from sail to propeller. These 4 hatches open to reveal another 24 launch tubes for various non nuclear ballistic missiles. Missiles like anti ship missiles, cruise missiles and other conventional offensive and defensive missiles. Like the real boat the MLS tubes can be removed from the farthest tube aft to reveal that it reast inside of another tube capable of launching Special ops equipment and teams.It is fully textured and painted and comes with the paint scheme as shown. All materials are UVW mapped and applied. Most materials are planar mapped and major materials include texturing. All textures and materials are included with the paint scheme as shown. 3ds Max models are grouped for easy selection, and objects are logically named for ease of scene management. No cleaning up necessary just drop your models into the scene and start rendering. No special plugin needed to open scene. Model does not include any backgrounds or scenes used in preview images. Sub is available in several different formats. These models render very well and look very realistic using good animation and rendering technique Model can be used in an animation or static position within an animated video or possibly for programming for a simulation application. This 3D model was not designed for 3d printing, these are digital files only for visualization and gaming.The Virginia class, also known as the SSN-774 class, is nuclear-powered cruise missile fast-attack submarines, currently in service in the United States Navy.
