We go back in time to the Cold War age of the SSBN as we unbox this 1/200 Renewal Blueprints Model of the USS George Washington. Or is it the USS Andrew Jackson?

Hi Jim,

This model was so much fun when I built mine 40-some years ago! Now I know where some parts in my spares box are from. Wish I'd saved the reactor and engine room parts.

The good news is that modelers should be able to hide many of the molding flaws just by positioning them facing the solid hull half. Somewhere in my notes I have a list of accurate colors to paint this model.

I built 3 or 4 of those back in my youth. A local hobby store has one and I've toyed with the idea of building it again. It was a fun project to work on during those cold winter days in Illinois.

Wish they'd do this in 1/72nd with the same features!

OMG, this takes me back to childhood....

I remember building this one. It was a cool build "back in the day". If I remember right, there was a cut-away U-Boat, too. Seem to remember building that one as well.

I loved building this when I was a kid. To me it was fun to look inside!!

I guess, at the time it came out, a lot of the interior was guesswork. I would like to see one with a little more "real" interior.

Sorry for the confusion as a newbee. Post where? This isn't a new topic. Anyway question: what do you guess the value of a factory sealed Renwal Uss George Washington 85-7520 kit to be worth. This is original, not a Revell. I don't see this site much, email at [email protected]. Happy trails
