Has anyone made an SDV (SEAL Delivery Vehicle)model? Either from a kit or resin or scratch built? Thanks!

The Mk 8 boat? Not that I know of. There was a 1/192nd ASDS available through JD Models but it was the early config. Hobby Boss has released a 1/350th SSN-772 Greenville with ASDS, but the ASDS itself is pretty small.

The ASDS never made it into production as far as I know. A suspicious fire claimed the prototype and the troubled overbudget program was cancelled.

Thanks for that, I had seen the USS Greenville with the SDV way too small. I did not think anyone had made one other than that. Thanks for the response!
