1/350 AFV CLUB - US Navy Guppy Class II Submarine

The 1/350 AFV Club US Navy Guppy Class II Submarine kit depicts one of the post-World War II upgraded versions of the Gato- and Balao-class submarines. The GUPPY (Greater Underwater Propulsion Power Program) conversions were designed to modernise existing boats with improved submerged performance, streamlined hulls, and updated sonar and electronics, reflecting Cold War operational needs.

This model kit accurately captures the sleek profile and deck arrangement of the Guppy II configuration, including features such as the teardrop-shaped sail and reduced deck armament. Moulded in crisp detail, it offers an engaging build experience and is ideal for showcasing the evolution of submarine design during the early Cold War era. A great addition to any naval modeller’s 1/350 scale fleet.
