A Scale Model of HMS Ranger
The Spy Who Loved Me 1977
A Fibreglass upper hull and conning tower for HMS Ranger the British submarine captured by the Liperaus. Used by the special effects team to create the great sense of scale for the opening scenes in the pre credit sequence.
The model has been kept in storage and somewhat neglected with overspray's of paint and the loss of the tail fin and front dive planes. Detail is extremely "in depth" with hull markings.
